You can run your own VPN server on a VPS, but Netflix is (rumored to be) blocking the IP address ranges of DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, etc.

- obrit 10y agoI tried running OpenVPN on DigitalOcean and AWS and had no luck with Netflix on either host.
- etatoby 10y agoI tried proxying through a server in Germany (in a big, well known hosting provider) and I got the same message, both with ssh -D and pptpd. So they're either reading signatures left on the packets by various VPN / proxy technologies (fragmentation and other obscure metrics), or they're blocking the IP ranges of major hosting providers, or both.
- ynezz 10y agoThey don't use anything sophisticated, it's just IP range blacklist. Hint: try different VPS provider, there's plenty out there...
- goodcanadian 10y agoI used to run OpenVPN on Linode, but that was blocked a while back.
