I used to do this, a Netflix account is global. Meaning that the selection you get is based on where you currently are, this is great for when you're traveling.

Netflix has however been blocking every VPN under the sun. You can try your luck and get a VPN with a static IP that's just for you... But they seem to have started blocking these too.

Furthermore people don't mind paying for Netflix since you get a ton of value from it. When you add in the cost of a vpn + static IP from that VPN provider you've more than doubled it.

I cancelled my subscription when I couldn't hop to different countries and could only use the Belgian selection. I just went back to doing what I did before I got Netflix.
