Since early 2020 Netflix has cracked down on VPN users by disconnecting sessions at random and terminating SSL connections to their main website. This action is to due to content distributors pressuring Netflix to prevent users from accessing content outside of their geographical zone as they believe this is costing them in terms of profit. The end result is that users who always use a VPN to access the internet are cut from Netflix as collateral damage even if their account is registered in the same country where they connect to a VPN for. While some VPN providers have given up, NordVPN and a few others are battling on to provide their users with peace of mind while accessing services on the internet.

Can I get my money back because Netflix is not delivering the service I paid for?

    To be fair in a way they are forced to do it. Their competitors do. You think Hulu or Disney or Youtube or HBO or Amazon isnt going to do it? You want that cool movie you play by the 'rules' or they walk to your competitor. 100% bet that has come up in meetings all the time. When it was pretty much only netflix in the game they could look the other way. Now they have competition that does.

      It's not the competitors that are "forcing" netflix.
      It's the copyright owners and their representatives.
      Mind you, some of the copyright owners *are* competition, such as Disney.
      I'd like the distributors to be separate from the content creators.
