Netflix says it will step up enforcement against subscribers who use VPNs, proxies, and unblocking services to mask their locations. This will help Netflix prevent customers from watching video that isn’t licensed for viewing in their country, but it may also affect people who use location-spoofing services for security or privacy reasons.
“Some members use proxies or ‘unblockers’ to access titles available outside their territory,” Content Delivery Architecture VP David Fullagar wrote in a post today. “To address this, we employ the same or similar measures other firms do. This technology continues to evolve and we are evolving with it.
