There are services that get you a US IP allowing you to have access to all those unavailable titles. Haven't tried any myself though.


I have an under-utilized Linode instance that could presumably do the same via ssh tunneling, and at about 1GB/movie (incoming and outgoing) it should still be under the transfer limits. Though I was under the impression that Netflix also required a credit card with a US billing address. Not an insurmountable challenge, but I'd have to look at the hassle:benefit ratio if that is the case.


I'm using a French credit card on Netflix and my vps in the US with ssh tunneling for the ip. Haven't had any problem.
