Apparently there are a lot of people who would like to watch "US Netflix" but cannot do so from their location.
- robben1234 8y agoIt's the main usage of VPN (as well as region locked mmos) for those who are not doing it for security.
- bigger_cheese 8y agoThe Consumer advocacy group here in Australia, CHOICE, specifically recommends using a VPN service to avoid geoblocking (https://www.choice.com.au/electronics-and-technology/internet/internet-privacy-and-safety/articles/bypass-geo-blocking https://www.choice.com.au/electronics-and-technology/interne...). So there is definitely a market for this type of service.
- zakk 8y agoThat’s a good idea, but usually Netflix can blacklist domains faster then a VPN provider can acquire new “residential” blocks.
