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?

    In the past, book publishers did indeed try adding EULAs to books to restrict reading to the original purchaser and such. Courts refused to enforce such restrictions, whereas the MPA first greased the right palms so that EULAs converting a sale into a license would be deemed lawful. That's the problem right there...
