Mozilla VPN and Netflix
I've been enjoying the speed of Mozilla VPN compared to others I've tried. My only problem so far is that Netflix seems to block me from watching anything. It detects I'm on a VPN and says I must disable it before watching something, Hulu does the same. I have tried US servers and International servers with the same results. Is there anything I can do to make streaming from those sites work with this VPN?

Unfortunately, most streaming services disallow usage of VPN and will block access if they detect you’re using one. There’s no current workaround for this as it’s a decision made on their end of things, not ours. It may be something we can look at working around in the future.

I've heard of ways around blocking like that, for example shadowsocks. But I'm sure it's a matter of implementing technology and added cost. Since Mozilla is basically just piggybacking off another provider's vpn service I can understand they won't be doing anything themselves.
I'm marking this resolved simply because there is no solution, and I found out it was only on one video that Netflix popped that message. An interesting note, Opera Browser's built in VPN worked with it just fine (with or without Mozilla VPN enabled)....so there's that.
Of course, there is a workaround. I use Expressvpn and it works perfectly with Netflix. If you manage this issue for the same price I'll change Expressvpn with you right away, and probably the rest of the people in the world that uses vpn.
Cheers!
