2) You are using a proxy, some specialised ISPs offer this as a value-add (but more likely someone you live with set it up). ping www.netflix.com and android.nccp.netflix.com and see if the IPs returned are not what you get at work. You could try an IP "whois" and a geoip lookup on those IPs to see if they are owned by AWS and are in the same country respectively. Of course so may be the proxy. Check what your dns server is set to (ipconfig/ifconfig), is it your router or an IP from your ISP?

I found an interesting article that suggest that Netflix is now using some kind of delay detection for proxy and VPN as those type of connection usually add some latency. Let say that for a particular region Netflix should expect a specific delay and for whatever reason this is not, a false positive may occur.

I had those issues and most of the time my internet connection was saturated because someone else in the house was doing big download or also listening video streaming. Stopping the download resolve the proxy error on my netflix session.

The Netflix proxy error occurs whenever Netflix detects that a user is trying to stream a video through a proxy server or VPN. A proxy error message displays in the video player and is often accompanied by the error code m7111-5059:

Netflix started blocking connections from all proxies and VPNs in early 2016 to enforce its copyright obligations. The trouble with this is that even users who connect to a proxy service or VPN server in their own country get hit with the proxy error, despite not trying to access content from another country.

It has a global network of over 3200 servers in around 100 countries, so finding a server in your desired location is easy. Apps are available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux.

Netflix blacklists most proxy and VPN server IP addresses. Rather than weeding out individual servers, we believe Netflix simply blocks entire ranges of non-residential IP addresses. Netflix knows most proxy servers are hosted in data centers, which use different ranges of IP addresses than residential networks.

Whenever you go to the Netflix website, your web browser sends a DNS request to a DNS server. The DNS server looks up the IP address for Netflix and returns it to your device, which then fetches the video from the Netflix server. Netflix can determine which DNS server was used in this transaction.

By default, your DNS server probably belongs to your local Internet Service Provider and corresponds to a specific country or region. Many proxies and VPNs only route web traffic and not DNS traffic. If Netflix spots a mismatch between your DNS server location and your IP address location, it knows a proxy service is in use and throws up the error.

There are two ways in which you can connect to a VPN while still being able to watch your local version of Netflix. The first is to simply connect to a server in your location. This allows you to still be able to enjoy the various security benefits offered by the VPN. The second option is to use split tunneling. With it, you can stay connected to a server in another country while the Netflix app bypasses the VPN and uses a direct connection.

A VPN is a form proxy service with a graphical user interface and an extra layer of security through encryption. Although VPNs are the most reliable and effective way to access Netflix, other types of proxies have been used, such as smart DNS proxies.

I am using Vyatta as a router, but after some trial and error determined having the proxy on but not the url-filtering worked (which is what you also determined). I also determined that no matter what rules I had, if squid guard was running I was not able to use netflix on apple tv.

If you are reading this then I assume you are one of those unfortunate Netlix, Hulu and Co. users who does not live in the US and is upset that you are treated like a second class citizen by those companies? Well, you're damn right to be upset because you know you're paying the same amount of money as other users but getting a lot less for it which is just not fair. You are being discriminated because you don't live in the United States of America and the money in your pocket does not hold a picture of George Washington. It's a bloody pain and if you ask me it's an absolute disgrace that we still live in a time where we have to deal with those types of problems.

I don't even blame Netflix & Co. because these guys already get our money and they would be more than happy for us to watch whatever we want. It's some outdated laws and regulations made up by some poor souls in the content industry who force us into this miserable situation. Now the problem is that the internet is a global place and certainly does not know any borders. It has been the biggest motor of new economic growth for the last couple of decades and made the world a much smaller place than it used to be. If the internet has taught us one thing then it is that anyone can have anything, anywhere in the world with an instant effect and anyone who wants to convince us of the opposite is a dinosaur on the losing track. Patience and borders is a forgein concept which does not exist in the vocabulary of new generations, and that is for a good reason. They are impediments to innovation, growth and evolution.

Obviously the case is not as simple and clear cut as I make it sound, but it doesn't change the fact that there is a lot of stuff going awfully wrong at the moment and I feel like there is a lot of effort being made into the wrong direction. Instead of embracing the internet's full potential of global reach, companies are investing money and technology into setting up virtual borders and building detection software for people who violate those. While everyone else is making great steps forward, the media industry is desperately trying to stay resistent and not adapting to the new economy at all.

You probably know that one popular way of circumventing content restrictions is by streaming media via a VPN or proxy server. Every device which is connected to the internet has a so called IP Address. This address allows content providers to establish your geographic location and serve you a tailored view for your country. By using a proxy server you can pretend to be in a different location and trick a provider into serving you a much better offering than you would usually get. The concept is simple. Instead of streaming directly from Netflix & Co. you connect to an intermediate server, which is geographically located in the country of your desire and let that server stream the content for you on your behalf and forward it back to you. Sounds good in theory, except that Netflix and Co. have ways of detecting this spiel and will block you if not even cancel your account.

The fact that they can do this is quite clever, because it is certainly not an easy thing to do. I don't know how they exactly do it, but there is some basic theory which might give us an idea how they detect whether you are using a VPN or not. First of all they are probably collecting a growing list of IP addresses which they know belong to popular VPN and proxy services. Those IP addresses get simply blacklisted and blocked. Another way of detecting proxy services would be by monitoring the amount of users connecting from the same IP address over a period of time. If you've got hundreds or thousands of users streaming from the same IP address then chances are high that this is a proxy server. Of course it could be a bunch of people streaming from a Starbucks, but even a Starbucks has to close its doors at some point in the day. A genuine user is probably going to work sometimes or at least has to sleep. If you detect streaming behaviour from an IP address which doesn't fit with normal human behaviour than it might be another indicator for dodgy activity. Now I am not saying that this is what Netflix does, and I am sure their detection system is much more sophisticated than this, but I want to share some ideas which demonstrate that detecting a VPN or proxy server is not always an impossible task.
