Actually it's a good thing that Netflix does support IPv6 for this. As
any device using Netflix via IPv6 from your ISP would likely correctly
be protected as not a VPN or proxy.

The problem is the ISPs that deploy CGNAT without also deploying IPv6
is ridiculous. They are directly affected by the death of IPv4 yet
will not deploy IPv6, to me that is unacceptable.

Unfortunately as well you have devices such as Roku who still refuse
to support IPv6 at all, so even if said ISP deployed IPv6 at least
users using Roku would still be in the same boat.

If you don't use some kind of device to connect to Netflix, if you have
a reasonably modern TV that supports a native Netflix app as well as
IPv6, you'd be good to go.

Sadly, PlayStation still don't support IPv6. Hopefully, it comes with
the PS5, although I see no reason why the PS4 and PS3 can't.
