I'm not familiar with unblock-us. Would a VPN service work, or have they figured out how to block those too? I would imagine that to do that, they'd have to keep lists of IP addresses associated with the VPN services they want to block.
- 9point6 11y agoThey block anything they can detect as a VPN, which is a pain in the arse, because I don't want to browse at all without a VPN, so I can't use netflix at all any more.
- pmalynin 11y agoHow I solved this problem. Bought a $5 DO instance, which gets me a personal ip that is located in the states combined with OpenVPN I can watch Netflix and do many other things that are US only.
- sheraz 11y agoDoes this still work? I have a pptp server up on one of these for Netflix, and I'm getting negged. Should I just rotate the server onto a new IP?
- rabidrabbit 11y agoThere is a Docker container on github ( https://github.com/ab77/netflix-proxy https://github.com/ab77/netflix-proxy ) that uses a proxy and an IPv6 tunnel that allegedly works with DO's VPS, but I haven't tried it myself. A normally configured proxy and VPN usually end up with a flagged IP, as I've read multiple reports of people trying with DO or Amazon EC2 nodes.

- russdill 11y agoI hear that using an ssh socks tunnel currently functions.
- djrogers 11y ago> they'd have to keep lists of IP addresses associated with the VPN services they want to block. Yeah, that's probably what they're doing. It wouldn't be too hard for them to get the first 95% either - beyond ARIN/NIC registration searches etc, they could just look for IP addresses that often have a large number of subscribers behind them, especially a large number of non-us subscribers.
