The last time I looked into this Netflix was using what amounted to a large blacklist of IPs it considered to be vpn/proxy servers. You son’t say where you are hosting your hub, but I can imagine that if you were hosting it as a FusionHub on AWS for example that Netflix would likely consider all IPs from AWS as potential proxy/vpn servers and just block the whole /8 block of IPs.

I suspect that you’re going to find it a challenge to bypass their detection processes.
