Just want my Netflix and Chill
Its been a rough evening. I’ve talked to ~7 different “support” folks at Netflix, and 1 Person from Comcast.
It all started when I tried to watch some Netflix:
@netflix I’m not using a proxy. Sup. had me visit: https://t.co/yfVeONaNgn which disconnected the chat. Please help pic.twitter.com/jZHHqbuUXo

From there things just escalated…
I admit it. I got carried away
At one point I was on 3 chats and a phone call with Netflix. Im Sorry.
But seriously why are they asking me to do a DNS Flush? I’m hoping somebody can learn me on this one. What does Flushing my DNS Resolver Cache have to do with Netflix perceiving my connection as being a VPN.

Anyway it just kept getting worse:

Finally I broke down. I called Comcast, and I reset my Modem / Router. I took a production website offline in the process, just so I could watch some Netflix.
Luckily it was 130 AM Est so it probably wasnt a big deal
But I was just felt helpless with responses like this:

I mean, at least they were consistent, they were all convinced it was my DNS:

Anyway, I finally gave up, almost.
I tweeted all these folks:
@netflix @comcast @matt_trunnell @KoltonAndrus @schmaus @philip_pfo @rusmeshenberg @AroonRamadoss @daniel_jacobson I’m not using a VPN…

Im hoping that’ll help me get this fixed this weekend. Was hoping to rewatch Firefly this weekend…
