Who doesn’t like free things and there is nothing wrong with it. We work hard day in and day out to fulfill our dreams no matter how big or small they may be. If on one of the lucky days, we can get our hands on things or services that do not burn a hole in our pockets, we must know that we deserve it. But someone rightly said, “there is no such thing as a free lunch”. Everything comes with a cost. We may not realize it because not all costs are monetary and it is difficult to analyze the non-monetary costs. Today’s topic of discussion in Myflixer and what’s all the rage about it. Keep reading because we have compiled a list of everything you need to know about Myflixer – the good and the bad!
The introduction:
Myflixer is a free online platform that lets you watch or download movies and tv-series without any charges. Yes! It is an absolutely free online service with a library of more than 1000 movies and series that can not only watch with a live internet connection but can also download to be watched at a later time. Myflixer is a relatively new website and it gained a lot of popularity during the pandemic.
Now you might wonder, why are we paying hundreds of dollars every month to Netflix, Disney Hotstar, Hulu Plus Live TV, Apple TV, or any other website of your choice? As already mentioned, every coin has two sides. Myflixer offers only pirated content and the website is blocked in many countries due to content copyright issues. Myflixer does not hold the authentic right to showcase a movie or a tv show unlike other big brands like Netflix that legally collaborate with producers of the entertainment program.
Myflixer is not the only channel that displays pirated content. There are many other websites or links that consumers use to watch their favorite movies without having to pay for them. But most of these sites get banned as soon as the entertainment regulatory bodies are made aware of it. Myflixer is extremely new in the business but with growing popularity, it is bound to gain the attention of law agencies and may be completely banned.
However, the people at Myflixer are pretty smart as they keep changing the domain name of the website to avoid getting caught. Some of the domain names used by them are
ww3.Myflixer.pro
Myflixer.to
Myflixer.run
www5.Myflixer.ru
Myflixer.life
If you wish to stream any movie on Myflixer, you can try accessing one of the domain names and hope that the site is not blocked by your internet service provider.
Let’s talk about some of the reasons why people prefer Myflixer over other free websites
- The first and foremost reason has to be its ‘no charge’ services, You can practically watch more than a thousand programs, including TV shows and movies without spending a single penny

- Since it is free of charge, the user does not need to enter any kind of card details
- Currently, the site is accessible in almost 35 countries
Getting down to listing the reasons why you should avoid using Myflixer
