In my experience this is a common enough phenomenon. Happened to me twice here.
All kinds of sites employ “professional” services that keep them “safe” by
letting them know when someone uses the service from a Tor address, or plain
blocking such surfers. The problem is that these “professionals”
Is this now broken / reverted again? I'm getting a "you seem to be using an

Yes. The feedback to them seems to have worked and the error message is gone
now.

Well of course it is possible to find someone knowledgeable of IT, but the
chances of that are similar to that of walking up to a random person on the
street and having them be knowledgeable of it.

Hi,
I got ya, but what i do is running VPN on VPS and all home traffic is
going over that IP, not ISP. I don't know if you can route your traffic
in your home in this way, but I don't see why not. Only ..

Because the support people in the call center are not IT people. They don't
understand computers and were never trained with tor nodes. They were
literally given cookie cutter responses to tell you when you come and say
that you are being blocked because of a proxy. They don't have any
knowledge of

you may be right. as i said, it was only speculation on my part ...
but why didn't netflix support say it's your tor node when i was
chatting with netflix support for an hour? or even- we are detecting a
proxy on your net
Netflix engineering should be clueful enough to only block Tor-exit nodes.
We probably just have to find a way to get in touch with one of their
network engineers?

I seriously doubt it's hostility. The likeliest thing is they were looking
to stop people from using Tor to bypass country restrictions. So when they
found a public list of all the Tor nodes, they blocked them all. Not
realizing that only a few of them are actually capable of proxying.
For them to
I dont think its hostility. For the normal support assistant security
and/or TOR is like a black hole
and they do not know anything about it or know stuff from the
mainstream press which is mostly
complete bullshit. I would not blame the support person, try to get a
supervisor who knows what we

yes, this has just happened to me. i spent an hour yesterday in a chat
with netflix customer service and never once was tor mentioned.

I can attest to this, several weeks ago I was running a tor relay from home
and netflix dissappeared, after going through the song and dance routine
with support I decided it wasnt worth the hassle, so my relay is now on a
french vps. fortunately for me i own several ip's so it wasn't a real issue
Yesterday I forwarded this thread to Neil Hunt - the Chief Product Officer
at Netflix with the hope that he would read it and have received the

Noted - this will go to the right technical people.

I've also had several extensive conversations with Netflix support about
