Netflix has sent the world into a frenzy of anxiety by announcing through their blog that they will be trying to restrict users to only viewing content licensed to the country where they are physically located. This effectively means stopping customers from using a variety of techniques to get around geographical restrictions. Getting around "geoblocked" services is relatively easy and can be done using a VPN or proxy service provided by one of many companies that now provide these technologies.
