I would imagine it was done on purpose. The purpose of the Netflix VPN detection was to block users from outside of different regions due to content providers requests. Since HE provides free ipv6 tunnels, it's an easy way to get around the blockage, hence the restriction. ---- Matthew Huff | 1 Manhattanville Rd Director of Operations | Purchase, NY 10577 OTA Management LLC | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-694-5669

My house is on my own IP space, and theoutsideof the NAT that the family devices are on is 198.202.199.254,announcedby AS 11994. A simple ping from Netflix HQ in Los Gatos to my house should show that I'm no farther away than Santa Cruz, CA asmicrowavesfly. Unfortunately, when one calls Netflix support to talk about this, the only response is to say "call your ISP and have them turn off the VPN software they've added to your account". And they absolutely refusetoescalate. Even if you tell them that you are essentially your ownISP.So... where's the Netflix network engineer on the list who all of uscansend these issues to directly?
