Netflix has stepped up its efforts to ban VPN and proxy users from bypassing geographical restrictions. The streaming service is now blocking residential IP addresses too, since some unblocking tools use these to bypass restrictions. This isn't without collateral damage as many regular Internet user...

The banning technology growing more sophisticated.

    During my pirating hiatus, when you could have a sufficient amount of slop for a reasonable price (well I still pirated some, but a lot less), I ended up setting up a desktop PC that can conveniently double as a home media server. It's now running a Plex server and my pirating has been taken to a whole new level. I load up tons of new and old movies onto there just so me and my partner can have the fun of scrolling through actually good options on a netflix-like interface. I've started sharing it with friends who are tired of having 5 subscriptions, and so far it's been working great.
