I live in France and have been subscribed to Netflix for many years, with a fake US address (but a French debit card). I access Netflix over a VPN provider.
When Netflix arrived in France I was able to access Netflix without VPN from France, with a different catalog, but retained the access to the US catalog via VPN (without doing anything else: same account, same browser, same session even).
I have seen no change since this move was announced, and therefore doubt if it's real??

- bambax 11y agoMy VPN is very mainstream (I'd rather not name it, though, just in case) so it seems unlikely it's not blocked when others are. The other explanation would be that blocking doesn't apply to "US customers" but only to customers with a non-US physical address?
- cr1895 11y agoAs far as Netflix is concerned, I'm a US customer with a US address and I'm still blocked from using the US site. That also doesn't hold water when US-residing customers are blocked from using a US VPN simply to prevent their scummy ISP from throttling Netflix.
