- llsf 6y agoWeird... I did the test, and clearly I cannot watch shows on European TV website, and when I select one of my European server, then I can watch the shows. Something must be off with your setting.
- viraptor 6y agoIt depends on the service. Not everyone does it, but many services ban the Amazon, Azure, Google, DO, and many other AS sources simply because they won't originate "normal user" traffic.
- llsf 6y agoCorrect, I just checked Netflix, and it is still the US Netflix, even when I hopped from a Paris AWS server. But all french TV website are working like if I was in France.
- Reelin 6y agoApproximately: IP addresses are allocated to a network operator by the IANA via an ASN. Most large streaming services block non-residential ASNs at this point. Sometimes they miss one here and there. Your best bet is with smaller providers that operate using a less recognizable ASN. At this point even many non-streaming services block traffic from EC2, Azure, and other cloud providers just to cut down on bots.
- anonfunction 6y agoYeah I tried AWS and Digital Ocean and they were blocked by Netflix which is really what I care about. A commercial VPN I use actually works for Netflix but only in 2 specific regions.
