An interesting anecdote to this:
For a while my home network was running OpenMPTCProuter and I was testing bonding my 500mbps cable and 1000mbps fiber out to a linode VPS. So my home IP was a linode address.
I went to watch the newest season I Think You Should Leave (on an ATV) but only the first season showed up. As soon as I bypassed OpenMPTCProuter, the new season showed up. The same went for the app on my phone on the bonded wifi vs cellular.
- Spivak 5y agoAt this point VPS address ranges are basically useless for human traffic. If you want a clean ip your options are business ISPs either directly or via a small colo provider.
- DarrisMackelroy 5y agoYes, this is the conclusion I came to. I assume Netflix was limiting me the same way they would someone on a VPN. The Linode IP worked for 99% of my home traffic, but I tended to get captchas occasionally and some sites didn’t work at all or said they didn’t work over VPN. It was just bad enough that I wasn’t willing to keep it set up that way.
