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?

I was Netfix customer for many years from it's first days, but I sent them to fuck itself awhile ago.
As per the "war", Amazon and many banks are fighting VPN's as well. I thought they are just using ip blacklists from 3rd parties, but now I doubt it.

Netflix was always something I'd let expire unless I was gettin' pussy, in which case I'd happily renew my subscription. Last I checked it was like 5 bucks a month, a small price to pay for greasing the gears into dipping my wick.
