- kbuck 10y agoIt's definitely the IPs.
- walrus01 10y agoThere are a finite number of instant-provisioning VM/VPS hosts that such an organization can use, in terms of ASNs and IP blocks which are easily identified by netflix. Once Netflix has blocked a /22 or /20 belonging to a colo/VPS/VM hosting ISP, it's worthless bringing up a new VM with the same host. Repeat 30 times, you've run out of hosting companies to work with.
