Highly illegal.

It's not illegal, it just violates their guidelines. If it should come out, they can block your account or your access! 😉

Could one expect legal consequences?

VPN itself is legal in Germany, but using it on Netflix is illegal. All in all, a thick gray area.

If this is noticed by Netflix, your Netflix access will not be blocked, only your VPN access. See image:

Usually not. As I said, it's not illegal, just a rule violation.

Do not be misled. Not everyone knows the difference between acting illegally and violating the terms of use.
