I doubt anyone on HN would pay for a service like UFlix when the DIY alternative is much more efficient.

For less cost we use our own US-based vps, running something like the shadowsocks proxy. It's the same rig we found to work the best in China against the great firewall.

With its own dedicated IP, it would likely be cost-inefficient for Netflix to detect without blocking an entire range of legitimate IP addresses.

Tried that... I think by now, Netflix has banned pretty much all VPS providers, most likely as all the unblocking sites went from one to another

They've blocked pretty much all hosting providers and vpn provider's ip ranges.

unless you get an ip in a residential or possibly university range... you're pretty screwed.

What about something like n2n / Hamachi / Peervpn / Freelan / IPOP / your friend in the other country borrowing you their account and hosting an OpenVPN endpoint on their home network?
