I VPN back to my home network when I’m abroad so I can watch US Netflix shows.


Being local in a country with a limited Flix library, I have a hard time still paying for the (most excellent!) service.

And since Flix has succesfully banned all commercial VPN's, I am more and more contemplating seting up a "share your own local IP for Flix affectionados" with a couple of people.

How do others solve / done / consider this?


Problem is they not only banned most commercial VPNs but i believe they pretty much banned entire ASN's from watching their stuff. So it's not like you can just go ahead and and set a VPS up somewhere, because it'll be blocked too :(


Curious but why?


Because he likes watching US Netflix shows.


Shows available on Netflix depend on location.
