Feel sorry for the guy in the datacenter using Netflix on his brake.

VPNs aren’t hard to detect, especially if you’re using a major service.

Yo, we heard you like watching Netflix on your break, so we put big screen tvs on your brakes so you can watch Netflix on your brakes while on break.

That seems like a failure on their part. Buy more exit IPs.
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
There’s a lot more than just recognizing known raw IP addresses used as endpoints.
One method larger services with CDNs use effectively is to use DNS for blocking. When you try to access a site, your DNS request will resolve to a server close to you, with your location determining the domain resolving to a different IP. Then the platform just responds to those requests from outside their normal area with a consistent message. No need to know whether it’s actually a VPN or not, the traffic is acting like it is and doesn’t really have much of a reason to do that normally.

Well, you can put your DNS requests over the proxy as well, so kinda a skill issue. I don’t know if people do though - you’re the professional.

100% this, I work in cyber sec and it’s very easy these days for services to detect this.

What about TOR browser?

That’s even easier. The list of exit nodes is public.
