Approximately: IP addresses are allocated to a network operator by the IANA via an ASN. Most large streaming services block non-residential ASNs at this point. Sometimes they miss one here and there. Your best bet is with smaller providers that operate using a less recognizable ASN. At this point even many non-streaming services block traffic from EC2, Azure, and other cloud providers just to cut down on bots.


Yeah I tried AWS and Digital Ocean and they were blocked by Netflix which is really what I care about. A commercial VPN I use actually works for Netflix but only in 2 specific regions.


https://lowendbox.com/ has always been a good place to find geofence hopping friendly VPS which can serve as a VPN. Not affiliated, I just use it and recommend.
