Netflix not working on VPN

[jessjorfre]

Hi there. I made a new Netflix account from a Turkish proxy to get advantage of the exchange rates. 39 TL for the UHD package. I am based in Sweden and would live to get access to US content. I tried lots of VPN , even though I can see shows it doesnt get played and returns an error that I am using unblocking etc.



Is there a noob friendly version to this? So fed up now

Tried windscribe and Smart VPN.

Dont wish to pay without using a Trial and knowing it works

Dude, Netflix is about 9 bucks a month for SD just pay the fee.

Actually, I’d pay for Netflix if I had enough money for that. So, my only option is to use proxies or VPN services. Btw, guys, could you advise me about reliable residential proxies? TIA

 

[lovinthehd]

If I leave my vpn running after an international excursion (I'm in the US), I can't sign into Netflix either.

This is by design. While you have a VPN already, you might as well sail the seven seas—Yarr, matey.
Netflix doesn't want your money, so don't give it to them.

Actually, $9 is not that much for so many movies and series. As far as I know now it's $9.99. Still, it’s not that much, I think. As for residential proxies, why do you need them? We’re currently using these ones https://soax.com/residential-proxies at our company. So, I’d like to know why you actually need a residential proxy? As far as I know, mostly companies use it but not regular users. Anyway, it’s better to use proxies than VPN. As I know, VPNs have worse user protection functions. Btw, guys, as for a Netflix subscription, which one do you have? A standard one is actually enough for us.

Years ago I used to figure out ways to watch international content (I'm in the US). Over time they got wiser and wiser to this. Eventually, it got to the point where it was cheaper to pay a legit provider showing the content I wanted than dealing with the time or frustration trying to figure how to watch.

I have on occasion used VPN to access Netflix material not available locally - there is quite a bit of geographic localisation of material... so I do have a subscription, but sometimes want to watch something that is available in the UK or Europe, or the USA.

PIA VPN has worked well for me over the years - but I have not used it often, and not in the last 18months.... (and given the ongoing battle between Netflix and VPN providers, it may or may not work next time I try...)

There is nothing you can do to stop Netflix from censoring entire IP ranges of reputable VPN providers. Because home IP addresses are not included in the VPN provider's list of known address blocks, it is feasible to buy a VPN that uses one, and those usually work with streaming services. The home IP raises the monthly service fees by roughly $8, and the companies I've seen ask for a one-year commitment. I have seen only https://shiftproxy.io with feaseable priced proxies. So keep that in mind. According to some reports, even residential IP addresses are eventually blocked.

Some VPNs will allow you to select the region you want that IP address such as US, Canada and other parts of the world.

im in canada and i have a VPN i pay around 20 bucks for the 4K version. sometimes the VPN works and i can check out netflix from all over the world. now with our socalist government they want to make canadian content as front runners and put American and other world shows at the bottom which sucks. iam Canadian and i don't want to get stuck with Canadian content

Depending on the VPN you use, it may have a fixed end address, or more likely, has rotating end points and IP addresses...

Some of those addresses and end points, will be on Netflix "black lists" of known VPN's - and therefore won't work.

Typically the default setup randomises the connection end points - and then it is pot luck whether it works or not.

I prefer to set a fixed end point, that I know works, and then change it when Netflix stops working....

It's an arms race, and it goes back and forth between Netflix (and other streaming services) and the VPN providers.

Netflix is going to crack down on password sharing between people who don't live together. They are going to do this by periodically identifying the place you are watching from! My question is, if I sign up for a VPN, can I spoof my location so that Netflix thinks I am logging in from the same place each time? Now they say they will accommodate travelers, but I am very seldom at my "residence" address - maybe 4 or 5 times in a year, and then only for 2 or 3 days at a time - my sister and BIL have a small house. Now I can certainly live without Netflix, but I don't really want to. Besides, what if other streaming services decide to follow Netflix?

What a VPN does, is spoof your address - using one that belongs to / is located in a hub owned by the VPN vendor.

Quite a few current home routers, also support VPN connections - in which case you would vpn into your home network from wherever you are and you would have your home address...

Now with our socialist government they want to make Canadian content as front runners and put American and other world shows at the bottom which sucks, and as you can check by browsing different regional libraries the difference in available content is massive. I am Canadian and I don't want to get stuck with Canadian content.

Hello. My premium VPN does not work with any Netflix countries, I don’t even get a “vpn error” or anything it just stays the same, as if there’s no vpn.

All I know is I was a Netflix customer when they were a DVD service only. I was on the beta streaming program when they had only 50 titles.

I had the 4 concurrent streams during their 'you should share your password' ad campaign phase and no adds

Since then they've locked down the password sharing, added advertising to all the previously ad-free subscriptions, and I just went to watch a movie that is listed as streaming to find out I can't watch it on the ad supported *PAID* tier.

So Arrrgh! Matey. You have a vpn so you should use it.

I've been a Netflix subscriber from the beginning of their disc rental service as well (which I miss a lot now). I never tried password sharing, altho had my own subscription on several devices at same time which was convenient. I had a 3 disc at a time plan and kept it busy up to the end. I haven't noticed ads though on Netflix streaming service (find it annoying on the Amazon Prime service, tho).
