The tunnelbroker service acts exactly like a VPN. It allows you, from any

Perhaps Netflix should automatically block any connection that's not from a known residential ISP or mobile ISP as 
anything else could be a server someone is proxying through. It's very easy to get these subnets -- the spam filtering
