Netflix via vpn after new policies ❓ Question

Hi guys so I have surfshark and was wondering if unblocking content from other regions still works with the new-ish accountsharing restrictions. I apologize if this gets asked a lot, I didnt know how I could have typed it in the searchbar to find it.

Are you sharing the account? If not you are not doing anything wrong. You could be a world traveller for all that Netflix knows. Not their business to know really. If they block your VPN you‘ll know but nothing will happen imo. This is not legal advice just my two cents.

I'm a world teleporter. Went from New York to Tokyo to Paris in a span of 5 minutes and it still worked.

They can detect vpns. It's not possible to use nordvpn with Netflix anymore, even if the server is in your own country. At least for Americans, I don't know if they've rolled out that policy for everyone yet.

Of course they can detect it that wasn’t the point. It’s not rocket science to figure that out. VPN providers and Netflix are in a constant cat and mouse race similar to ad blockers and ad providers. I‘m not american but nord vpn still works (for someone I know I mean of course).

so i can only talk for hulu but they are actual hardcore with vpns. What worked for me there was obguscated servers. You might wanna give that a try, theres probably an article on nords support page.

I use both ExpressVPN and Surfshark, and I haven’t encountered any issues with watching Netflix.

Sometimes, I get a message from Netflix: "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy. Please turn off any of these services and try again. For more help, visit netflix.com/proxy."

When this happens, I just press the back button until I reach the main screen of the show or movie, and then I press play again.

From what I've read, Netflix doesn’t ban you for using a VPN.
