Be careful what you shoot, there are also innocents walking through the field. We are talking about the active Netflix VPN war.
The American range of Netflix is a blow larger compared to the library in other countries, including the Netherlands. With a VPN it is often possible to access the alternative offer. That’s because a VPN can mimic another, in this case US, virtual location. Netflix isn’t happy about that at all.
Netflix has therefore devised a system that in some cases realizes that you are watching on a VPN. You simply do not get to see the offer you had hoped for. But Netflix’s war on VPNs sometimes affects innocents, too. On among others reddit you can find a thread where people complain about a meager offer on the American streaming service.
Netflix blocks some IP addresses linked to a particular VPN server. If you happen to use it, the streaming service may mistakenly think that you are on a VPN. The streaming service advises you to contact your internet provider if you are affected by this. If we are to believe the thread on Reddit, this is a serious problem for some.
