Netflix banning HE tunnels

My son came home from uni and complained that Netflix wasn't working -
which turned out to be my HE tunnel. So I blocked a few suggested IPv6
addresses, and everything is now fine.

Except that using IPv6 was connecting to some Netflix servers in the US of
A, and using IPv4 connects to the local Netflix caching server hosted by my
ISP here in Toronto. Much lower RTT and zero packet loss.

Amusingly, Netflix's anti-HE stance has actually improved my Netflix
experience...
