- dagw 7y agoI don't know about HBO, but Netflix has spent a lot of effort building quite sophisticated methods for detecting and blocking people trying to connect via VPN
- koonsolo 7y agoI guess this is a requirement from the content owners.
- mcv 7y agoIt's a requirement to drive people towards torrents? Why do they keep making it hard to us to pay them for the content we want?
- mapmeld 7y agoIn my experience, it varies... I had one VPN service start to get blocked consistently, so I switched to another, and that's been going smoothly for two years. And I'm sure Netflix can put cookies on my machine and know what's up... I'll be in Japan and then minutes later I'm in the US again with the same computer.
- koonsolo 7y agoAt that point, it makes more sense to just download the torrent.
- krtkush 7y ago> And then people wonder why torrents are still so popular? Because it's the most convenient, not because it's free.
