Do you watch Netflix over VPN?

And have you ever had trouble with Netflix because of that?

Why should there be trouble? Does not make sense. VPN isn't forbidden.

So no, never had any problems

But if it violates the Netflix user guidelines, accounts have already been closed because of it. Since I have a family account, I don't want to have to explain to others why the account is suddenly blocked.

Apparently you are right. Is new to me

So

No and no.

Do you have something to hide from netflix that you have to stream via VPN?!

Bypass the country lock, in US Netflix you have a much larger selection of films and series that are just not licensed for the German market

With VPN you are connected to a router from another country, so VPNs are not illegal. Because that's like you're supposedly in the USA. The disadvantage of VPN is that most VPNs are chargeable, and you have to pay a subscription if you want to continue using VPN, otherwise you get a test version and after the end of the test version you can no longer use VPN at no cost. But that is different from VPN to VPN.

I know the problem is that it violates the user guidelines of Netflix, there have already been account closings because of it. Since I have a family account, I don't want to have to explain to others why the account is suddenly blocked. That's why I wanted to ask if people had experienced this before.

Every now and then I have a look with VPN. Is there e.g. The series "Extras" by and with Ricky Gervais on US Netflix… And you have to watch it in English anyway! 😜

Never had any problems. 🤷🏻♂️

So if it says on Netflix that you are not allowed to use a VPN there, then I would rather not risk it in your place. But all I can say is that we have used VPN on Disney + several times and the account lock is still not there.
