According to the most, what they want to do is damage Netflix to its customers who regularly pay a subscription to access its content. Why should it not be possible for them to enjoy access regardless of where they are located? On the other hand, however, Netflix sells viewing rights to different countries: for example, House of Cards in Italy was bought by Sky and if viewers Italians if they watch on Netflix, bypassing the block, Sky is not very happy. In the coming weeks it will be clearer if Netflix actually joking or whether he has truly found an appropriate countermeasure. Meanwhile celebrates excellent quarter (Q4). Its subscribers have now reached 75 million share, thanks to landing in other countries. Revenues were up 22.8% and earnings have exceeded expectations with 10 cents per share. Overall, the company’s profits came to 112.6 million dollars in 2015, still lower than the 266.8 million of 2014.
Netflix, that in Italy already has 4 million subscribers, he has recently said that his clients can no longer use services such Proxy or VPN (virtual private network) to circumvent the prohibitions viewing certain content, so-called “regional blocs”. These services, in fact, make it possible to hide the real IP address used by the user to achieve the Netflix servers, allowing the vision to those who should not be enabled. The specialist providers have responded in kind, and today confirmed that it will be enough to change the IP addresses to make vain each countermeasure:
“TorGuard is monitoring the situation closely and we have recently implemented new measures that can bypass any block proposed on our network, “wrote Ben van der Pelt of TorGuard, a company specializing in security services for online privacy. “The users of the VPN they will encounter problems of access to Netflix are invited to contact us to obtain a working solution.” In practice the action of Netflix is only considered a nuisance and a bit ‘more work for service providers and VPN Proxy, but nothing more. Another operator as SlickVpn confirmed that switching to another IP is a banality.
