Title: Help with VPN and Netflix
Post by: DannyG on Sunday 01 March 2020, 11:57:42 pm
Hi Community!

I live in the US but stay abroad several months a year due to work. I'm dependent on using VPN to access certian services that are blocked in the country I work. However there are issues with Netflix blocking my VPN users. How would I solve this? It's probably possible to re-route Netflix traffic so that I don't use the VPN with Netflix, but I have no clue how to do that. Another possible solution would be to subscribe to Netflix VPN to bypass the issue, but I have no experience with this either. Any hints on how to solve this?

Regards, Danny

I have read more on the topic and understand that the underlying issue is that Netflix are cracking down on users accessing geo-blocked content. Apparently Netflix announced already in 2016 it would be cracking down on users who use VPNs to access content available outside their own country. This is strange because my VPN was only blocked recently. There is now even a market for a special VPN services (https://www.sneakflix.com/) because of this cat-and-mouse game between Netflix and VPN providers.
