Subject: [EXT]: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Amazon prime video error (Your device is 
connected to the internet using a VPN or proxy service)

There have been several threads over this on the NANOG list with a sudden 
uptick in this issue for several of the streaming services.  My takeaway from 
the posts is that amazon has been easier to deal with than some other others 
(.e.g., Disney+) and that the best contact to resolve this for amazon prime is 
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> as geoguard is apparently the prime 
(sorry, couldn't resist) source for amazon.  The website

 was also referenced as a good source of contacts for several of the providers.

If you aren't blocking P2P anonymizer clients, where user devices are endpoints

These clients may show up with students from other countries, or students who 
have returned from being abroad.

If you have something like Cisco's Umbrella, they have an entire anonymizer 
category you can block, but to be 100% effective, you need to block external 
DNS access so that is harder to circumvent.

You don't often get email from 
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Learn why this is 
important<http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Hi everyone, has anyone come across this yet where Prime video will not play . 
this is what is on the screen ( Your device is connected to the internet using 
a VPN or proxy service. Please disable it and try again.) we have called Amazon 
and they told us to contact our ISP . We only see this on our wireless 
networks. Talking with our ISP it seems this is happening more and more and 
what basically has happened is out NAT ip's for out wireless have been black 
listed and now we have to remove our selves from these lists. Has anyone else 
come across this yet ? if so how successful has it been to remove yourself from 
these lists.

Thank you
Pino
