wow. blaming support for IPv6 rather than using cgnat is a huge stretch of credibility

Even my home network is dual stack, i am absolutely sure there is no proxy/vpn/whatsoever (but ipv4 part is over CGNAT) - and i got "proxy/unblocker" message on my personal TV. And many other ISP sysadmins told me that recently this is a massive problem, and netflix support is frankly inadequate and does not want to solve the problem. I will not be surprised that they will begin to actively lose users due to such a shameful silly screwed up algorithm. Who in sober mind blocks all legit users due probably one or two suspicious users behind same IP range?This isn't a new problem - for years, services that track what a single IP address does can deny access if something looks amiss. Of course, CG-NAT is a reality, but perhaps Netflix find it will be easier to lose some customers than building infrastructure and support to work out what is valid CG-NAT vs. mischief. Probably would have been an easier case if Netflix didn't support IPv6, but alas... Mark.
