I may be dumb, but wouldn't these people have to be paying somehow? If
so why do they not just block it based on the customers billing address
of the credit card on file? I have not actually had a netflix
subscription in a while, but I was almost certain you had to pay with a
credit card or paypal and unless they have gone to accepting bitcoin I
would think that would be the easiest solution.

Netflix is under considerable pressure lately to block foreign VPN’s
from accessing US content. I don’t recall the exact number but I think
it’s around an estimate of 500k Canadian’s using VPN or other tech to
access the US version of Netflix ;)
Americans shop online in Canada for pharmacy drugs – Canadians shop
around for US content on Netflix .. I think it’s a fair trade haha

You just turned up another bgp session with a new service provider ?
Upstream ?
Most likely there is a routing issue...incoming traffic one way and
outgoing in a different route..and one of them with possible issue..

Except that I’m not on VPN or proxy.
So they have wrongly allocated or listed my blocks as proxy/VPN.
Doesn’t that break net neutrality for me?
Not that the FCC is going to do anything about it.
I just got off the phone. They asked me to email them my ASN, upstream
and details.
Hopefully they pull their heads out and get this working.
Not like I can request a IPv4 block directly from ARIN.
I DID that and they denied saying they have no more.
So I’m stuck without their help.

Anyone else start getting these calls today?
My personal Netflix, on the same public IP block, seems to
still work.
But several of my customers are now calling in saying their
Netflix is VPN, Proxy or using an Unblocker.
Netflix is denying any sort of fix or solution for these
customers, blaming it on the ISP.
I'm sick of this crap.
The customers don't care, they will just drop the ISP and
get another, probably with IP blocks that aren't
'blacklisted' as VPN, or going through a datacenter.
I had the same problem with Hulu, Vudu, ABC.com Disney.com
and several others.
Fortunately, all of those companies, except Vudu, fixed my
problem by whitelisting my IPs.
Vudu took a long time but I think I finally got a hold of
the correct team of engineers and they fixed it.
On the phone now with Netflix rep and one of her first
questions was, "What is a public IP block?"
:(
