Do something about Netflix proxy blocking

I don't know if this is possible, if anyone has any ideas that would be great :).

I don't think they're blocking the proxy so much as the IP blocks of known VPN/Public DNS services.

Hmm, good point. Maybe this should come with a list of VPS's that can be used.

@chocolatebegood Is this working for you?

The only thing I would be worried about is Netflix people blocking the good VPS if we publish a list. Mine is still working but I would suggest not using VPS on the east or west coast because if I was Netflix i would block them first as they're likely to have the lowest latency and fast download speeds making them better suited for VPN and similar. Plus smaller the company I think the better so long as they have their own IP allocation and aren't borrowing off other providers.

@chocolatebegood What setup are you using? Out of curiosity I purchased a new VPS, and it's IP range is not blocked, as I can set up a SOCKS proxy to it, and access Netflix fine, but the dnsproxy setup does not seem to work :/ Does this still work for you?

I've got haproxy running on my vps with dnsmasq running on my raspberry pi at home and it's working great.
