The Netflix program catalog is different for each country and region. This is because the company tries to offer more localized content and also comes to different content distribution agreements.
Therefore, some programs in the United States are not necessarily available in another country, such as Spain.
Some users were using VPNs to try to get around this, and for the most part it worked. With a VPN that passes through the United States, you can view that country’s Netflix catalog.
However, it appears that Netflix is ​​trying to restrict the use of VPNs, which has resulted in some innocent users got caught in the crossfire.
Basically, Netflix started Block IP addresses that you know or suspect to be VPNs.
However, some users who don’t have a VPN are finding that Your Netflix account is no longer showing those movies and series that aren’t in the company’s catalog for everyone.
As Netflix explains, “A VPN server or proxy can prevent you from playing shows and movies that aren’t available worldwide.”
This led to the belief that Netflix is ​​erroneously blocking IP addresses as if they were associated with a VPN, although in reality they are not.
According to the Netflix solution, “If you have disabled proxy servers, VPNs or any other routing software and you continue to see this message, please contact your Internet service provider. Your ISP will be able to determine why your IP address is associated with using proxy servers or VPN networks. »
Knowing how ISPs work, it seems unlikely that a support agent will be able to help you if you call them with this issue, so the solution should come from Netflix, which would have to verify that this user’s IP is really from a VPN service.
