NETFLIX and FUSIONHUB

Hi @joelbean

Please have a look at this post, there is an explanation there.

FusionHub Appliance using Cloud based Server that doesn't block Netflix

Hi, not quite sure how these rules will help me out when attempting to access US Netflix whilst outside the US?

Simply put, it’s not FusionHub, Peplink or the data centre thats blocking the services, its the service provider e.g. Netflix due to the designation of the IP address been utilised.

@Sam_Norris

It is based on how a service provider (like Netflix) classifies an individual or block of public IP addresses.
One of they ways they do this is by ASIN numbers to figure out who owns what IP addresses and what they are been used for.

Also, If you do a quick google of “AWS IP Address Blocks”, the first result is how to view AWS current IP Address ranges - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-ip-ranges.html
This would make it very easy for Netflix to keep an up to date database of IP addresses to block.

Netflix might also block an IP address if they see unusual activity originating from that IP address.
