I have a similar experience. A friend of mine was staying on SE Asia for an extended period of time and asked me to configure her router with an always-on VPN connection to the US to access her media subscription services. She had already signed up with a VPN provider. None of the standard VPN connection types worked (OpenVPN, L2TP etc) with Netflix, only the custom application that they provided. When I analyzed it, I found out that it routed traffic through other users' residential connections.
