For years Netflix was mostly neutral on VPNs and was happy to turn a blind eye as it saw its global numbers growing. In January 2015, however, the company updated its terms and conditions to state that out-of-region steaming using a VPN or other methods was no longer supported. The move marked the beginning of Netflix siding with publishers over users when it came to content restrictions. It makes sense, as Netflix was likely facing its ultimatum from studios who threatened to pull valuable content from the service if the situation wasn't resolved. Before you consider finding a way around these rules, note that these updated terms of service plainly state that Netflix "may terminate or restrict your use of their service, without compensation or notice" if it deems that you're attempting to circumvent the system. You won't get access to content until you handle the situation appropriately. Yes, Netflix does play nicely, unlike other companies.
