Learn methods to hide your VPN connection and maintain online privacy.
You can hide your VPN traffic to avoid detection by services such as Netflix and Snapchat. Stunnels is one option, but you might explore alternatives. For WireGuard, it’s a viable choice if you’re open to switching from OpenVPN.
They rely on VPN services without their IP addresses being listed in streaming platforms' blocklists. However, this is more challenging because Netflix typically includes the IP addresses of most VPN providers in their own lists.
It seems they might be applying DPI because their IP is linked to a data center. You could add a SOCKS5 proxy at the end of your VPN using a residential IP address.
It's feasible to circumvent restrictions since some VPN providers claim support for Netflix. I'm not sure how they achieve this.
I check the repository at https://github.com/ejrv/VPNs/blob/master/vpn-ipv4.txt to see if a VPN's IP range appears in streaming service databases. It’s not an official Netflix listing, but it likely means the service is restricted.
