Title: using proxy with Netflix
Post by: _SpyMachine on August 09, 2012, 01:19:45 AM

So I was in Canada the past few days and I went onto Netflix to find that they have the whole 1st season of Community on Netflix in Canada. So I just got back to the states, and I thought maybe I could try using a proxy to trick Netflix to thinking I was in Canada, and it sort of worked (the browse page shows Community and other options) but when I go to play a video it gives me an error. Trying to figure out how I can get around this. Anyone have any ideas? Such a great show!!

VPN is the easiest, works great from Norway ;)

I would also recommend a VPN I find it more stable.

What does it say now? Also, are you 100% sure the VPN is located in the US in a state that got Netflix?

So just by using a proxy which is in a different country I can get more movies? Or does this only apply to TV series?

Been like this for a long time. Tho it has become a bit more popular to make global release dates for big movies.
