Upload speeds will be the biggest challenge for that, however, but ~5 megabits/second should be enough to watch Netflix in 480p and possibly 720p.

Yes, that's what we're discussing. I think people who make their own VPN from a home connection will still be fine. If not, I bet a bridged VPN will work. (probably)

Yeah couldn't they detect the known VPN protocols or tunneled packets?
If it's just blacklisting known VPN servers, easy to get around. They really should grant users with US billing address access to US content wherever they are. I believe iTunes does it that way, regardless of where you are, it uses your billing address to access content for that country. So presumably the tv shows and movies you'd download for rent or purchase would depend on which country iTunes Store you're accessing. Of course the studios probably have deals with exclusive distributors for different country. That's a pre-digital thing that tech companies have to deal with. I would think the most popular shows are the Netflix originals and those should be available everywhere? |

Plus Netflix won't know where the VPN originated. That is the whole point of a VPN.

He's saying that a VPN doesn't show your actual address to Netflix. As for BBC's player, I wonder how they can tell despite using a VPN.

Do you mean BBC iPlayer won't work with a VPN for you? It works for me.

Last time I checked it didn't work.
I just checked and I am watching Doctor Who on BBC's iPlayer as I type this. |
