It's too much trouble to try and work around the VPN blocking that most streaming services do. It's so much easier to just torrent whatever you want to watch.

I'm glad a lot of the major vpns have stopped advertising them with "watch Netflix from any country, anywhere!" Because you could only do that for a short time before they started blocking all VPN IPs, and it was just blatant false advertising.
