Attackerman Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Good Day Netduma Army, when I have an issue with sorting something out you guys always seem to give the best advice. I live in the U.S and I recently purchased NordVPN for about $10 a month with the hopes of watching Netflix with my girlfriend who lives in Canada. I set up the Hybrid VPN on the Netduma and everything seemed to go well. I got my Canadian server hooked up and I'm ready to go. However, when I go to watch something a notice comes up stating, "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy. please turn off any of these services and try again. For more help, visit netflix.com/proxy." Does anybody have any ideas on how to bypass this so I can go ahead and watch some Canadian Netflix?
BIG__DOG Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 You can try a different vpn server such as a city based 1. Your problem is that netflix records the ip addresses of the vpn providers as they are all usually static block ip addresses, meaning that multiple vpn members share the same publicly visible p address.
Attackerman Posted August 18, 2019 Author Posted August 18, 2019 Ok Roger that, I'll go ahead and start doing some trial and error. Thanks!
BIG__DOG Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Let us know how it goes and if you need any further elp
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted August 18, 2019 Administrators Posted August 18, 2019 As BD said, this looks like Netflix itself detecting that you are using a known VPN server to them. Perhaps check on the Nord VPN forums for advice on which servers to use?
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted August 19, 2019 Administrators Posted August 19, 2019 Hmm is there such a thing as a VPN with dynamic IP?

There are some VPN providers that offer for a premium a dedicated static ip address. I know purevpn have a netflix button on their desktop app that says netflix on it so when you connect it bypasses their geo filtering and vpn detection.
Bert Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 There is something wrong with these OpenVPN configurations, at least on some. I have ExpressVPN. When I use their app on my phone or ipad it works fine with Netflix. But when I download the OpenVPN file for the same server and load it into my XR500 it detects that it is a VPN somehow. I could live with that but I oftwn watch Netflix on a AppleTV and that has no VPN setting so it has to be done at router level.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted August 22, 2019 Administrators Posted August 22, 2019 That's strange, perhaps the desktop app is doing some advanced stuff that won't work with OpenVPN? It could also possibly be to do with the DNS leak. This could be bypassed by temporarily setting your DNS server manually to whatever ExpressVPN uses.
Bert Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 I haven't investigated it further to be honest. I tried contacting the tech support of ExpressVPN and they just wanted me to change servers all the time giving the same results. I haven't spent any time on it since. I could try the DNS like you suggest
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 22, 2019 Administrators Posted August 22, 2019 That could work, do let us know! We are aware of the VPN leak on our side.
