I don't know. Netflix is doing a pretty good job shutting down VPN proxying.

Yes, I know there are some providers that still work... Shhhh!

However, it's a lot easier for Netflix to blacklist an IP (or an entire IP range) than it is for a provider to setup a whole new proxy - likely connected via a residential ISP.

But they're not doing a good job in blacklisting debit card providers (providers that let you generate your own unique debit card number and start a free trial on this new card, resulting in using the service for free) or banning shared accounts (i.e. 4 people meet on the internet only for the purposes of buying one account).

VPN connections are relatively easier to block.
