This thread has been forwarded to Netflix. They will now begin the process of blacklisting ALL european ISPs. Gratz on killing it for the rest of them.

I don't think it's worth the time and effort to circumvent Netflix's blocking of other countries.

If you don't care about their terms of service, and by some chance also don't care about copyright laws, it's easier to download the shows or movies you want from file hosting sites, newsgroups, or torrents.

Best solution was posted right after the OP, though.

well, since everyone knows your name, once you post that you figured it out i'm sure some good samaritan will let them know you are avoiding their restrictions.

No trolling. I'm being serious.

If you want to use a service that's exclusive to the US and Canada, then move here.

Even if you do manage to get an account somehow, I can't imagine Netflix will like having their traffic go to the UK.

i just set up a tunnel and use netflix and hulu all the time

to the OP, use google, there are ways to pay for netflix...

Yeah... I'm not signing up under my name, or my address, or my IP... So have fun with that.

I know, I'm trying to get round that.

You won't be able to get around it. They won't stream to IP address blocks outside of the US unless it has service to those countries.

EDIT: I just saw that you're going to use a VPN link to the US. Good luck with that.

reported to hulu as well.

Go for it, did I not mention that I'm not using my IP or name, or ....

Are you just sending them messages, saying someone, somewhere, outside the US, in the UK is using Hulu through a VPN. You can't see who it is, and there's nothing you can do about it, but his name is Mike Bracken?

I have back traced this and reported it to the cyber police,

The consequences will never be the same!
