(not specifically to Cryptographrix) Anyone that expects any consumer-focused support to be able to address any legal or high level technical situation is a fool for having thought appropriate. These sorts of issues are things you start with Tempkin and others that frequent NOGs and other telecom events. You don't go to the web site support chat to get them to make a change to how they handle IPv6 on their end. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cryptographrix" <cryptographrix () gmail com> To: "Mark Felder" <feld () feld me>, nanog () nanog org Sent: Tuesday, June 7, 2016 8:55:10 AM Subject: Re: Netflix VPN detection - actual engineer needed As I said to Netflix's tech support - if they advocate for people to turn off IPv6 on their end, maybe Netflix should stop supporting it on their end. It's in the air whether it's just an HE tunnel issue or an IPv6 issue at the moment, and if their tech support is telling people to turn off IPv6, maybe they should just instead remove their AAAA records. (or fail back to ipv4 when v6 looks like a tunnel) On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 9:22 AM Mark Felder <feld () feld me> wrote:

It allows you, from any arbitrary location in the world with an IPv4 address, to bring trafficoutvia one of HE's 4 POP's, while completely masking your actual location.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 folks have these subnets well documented. /s -- Mark Felder feld () feld me
