A user may encounter access restrictions when attempting to stream content on Netflix. This can occur when Netflix’s systems erroneously detect the use of technology that obscures the user’s true location. This detection typically triggers a block, preventing access to the intended content library.
Circumventing geographical content restrictions, whether intentional or unintentional, violates Netflix’s terms of service. Content licensing agreements vary by region, dictating which titles are available in specific locations. Therefore, Netflix actively works to prevent users from accessing content outside their designated region.
