VPNs Vary

Someone said Netflix is blocking all VPNs. I think that is a rather broad statement. They are targeting VPNs and they are blocking by IP address. So if the IP address you are using is not in a blocked pool of addresses you won't necessarily be blocked. In fairness to Netflix they only have content, the movies, based upon agreements with the studios. If the major studios tell Netflix they will not receive various titles if they do not actively block access there is little they can do. The issue is that content licensed for US viewing is not necessarily licensed for viewing in, for example, South Korea. The same is true with books. As an aside, this is why I have zero sympathy for the studios or theaters when they get up in arms about the dates of release to theaters versus release to streaming.
