Netflix blocks VPNs - Is there still any hope left?

Have you been a victim to “access denied” recently on streaming giant, Netflix? Netflix has specifically blocked IP addresses connected to VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) wherein the software routes web traffic of a user via a foreign server (it appears like the user is accessing the internet from that remote country where the VPN server is located).

Impact of blocking VPNs on Netflix subscriber base
Many people expect that this move will cause a drop in VPN sales and this isn’t something that would be welcomed by security-centered people because VPN offers a huge advantage of masking the original IP address of the user while encrypting traffic.

For several years now, paying foreign Netflix subscribers have been using VPN proxies for disguising their original location and accessing maximum content on the streaming platform. Although there isn’t any concrete estimate with regards to the number of Netflix subscribers using VPNs, VPN services inform that there is definitely a huge user base and some of them specifically utilize VPNs for accessing Netflix.

So is there any hope left for Netflix subscribers in foreign lands? The answer is YES.
