Nonono. What you do is you pay for Netflix from wherever. That doesn't matter at all.

 

What matters is the location you appear to be streaming from. And Netflix kinda locked down on a lot of VPNs, so good luck. Hola, the free VPN, still works as long as you go to something like movies.netflix.com first.

Sig under construction.

I've had zero issues with Hola.

 

Change my location, go to netflix.com, and I got everything.

 

Thanks for better call saul, Norway :)

Interesting.

 

But like said in that post, if they do block me

 

1) Make a new account?

 

2) Cancel, and just download my stuff online, or get shomi, etc.

 

EDIT: How serious are they about this anyways? They clearly aren't going to take legal action I presume, and I watched the 6 seasons of parks and rec on US netflix, as well as a portion of It's Always Sunny in Philly, and now better Call Saul, with nothing. Really how serious are they taking this?

 

I personally think it's stupid that they show certain shows in certain countries only.

the way it works is it goes to other hola users internet's and then that is the ip so someone could be on yours and hack it 

Oh. That's wonderful news. I'm not too tech savy when it comes to that kind of stuff. What kind of access etc would they have at that point? If they were to hack it?

Hmm. Slightly alarming.

I only watch netflix on my laptop, which is purely school. Nothing important, and it's off my network. But HOW DO YOU PROPOSE I FIX THIS?  I can't stop watching Better Call Saul!
