He continued to use the VPN service without any problems until two weeks ago when it showed that Netflix had caught up with him and he couldn't access the US catalogue.
He switched to a $6 per month VPN service called Getflix and despite some difficulty immediately connecting to Apple TV for Airplay purposes, he has found the two weeks with the VPN a success.
Paypal is no longer an option to pay for the VPN subscription since it got on board with Netflix's mission in February.
If Getflix is shut down by Netflix the source would try to find another VPN, and felt confident Netflix wouldn't be able to shut down all the services available.
One reader said he had ended his subscription to Netflix when his VPN service stopped working.
"The companies bullying Netflix to prevent access really need to get with the times. You'd think that distributors would be happy that consumers want to pay... Back to downloading TV and movies for me now," Andy wrote.
Other people commented that "proxy detected" messages that had previously been appearing from time to time were more consistent recently.
"Sucks! I lost access couple weeks ago. You're already paying for it anyway. It's not like you're illegally downloading," Patrick Grey wrote on Facebook.
Last year, Netflix put out 450 hours of original programming, compared to 401 hours from HBO and this year, both companies say they expect to release roughly 600 hours of original material.
Netflix will test the loyalty of its long-time subscribers in the US next month when it hikes their prices 25 per cent, following a two-year freeze that kept rates at US$8 per month.
The increase will hit 17 million to 22 million US subscribers, based on analyst estimates.
The stock price dropped more than 10 per cent in extended trading after the company predicted it would only add 500,000 US subscribers in the second quarter of the year.
