See my earlier email.
My billing address is in Sweden. My IPv4 address GEOIPs to Sweden. My IPv6
tunnel GEOIPs to Sweden. I am not trying to circumvent ANYTHING, I am
trying to watch content available to swedish users.
Still, Netflix is blocking my HE IPv6 tunnel, it seems mostly just
lazy-blocking all HE prefixes instead of actually writing some intelligent
code to try to find the people that are trying to circumvent the
geographical limitations imposed by content owners.
