Netflix also no longer works when i travel. Went on a short trip to see some relatives in another country and my netflix account is blocked. Contacted support and they said i need to pay for a new account in that country. Netflix is really starting to lose its value for me. But I’m working on setting up a VPN at my house to tunnel all Netflix traffic through and then configure some rpis to send to family members so w…

Netflix lost its value for me when they just stopped having good content. I kept it around almost out of habit, but the anti-consumer policies were the straw that broke the camels back. Their self produced movies and shows are on average, abysmal. I might put up with their practices if they made good things.

I wanted to try Crave but I bought an nVidia box instead. Install kodi found some popular addons. Now I can see anything on Crave or any other network from any point in history. I'm watching season 2 of Big Brother, I'm watching shows not available on streaming services. I didn't realize this user experience and availability was possible. I still have netflix, prime, plex and cable but that might give me .1% availabi…

Curious about your setup. Which nVidia box do you have? It’s been a while since I touched Kodi. Last time I played with it, I found that the addon ecosystem was hit and miss. Any suggestions there?

That sounds weird to me, as your description of it sounds like https servers in general shouldn't work through a (squid) proxy. However, they work just fine.

They work if you have control over the client and can either explicitly configure them to use a proxy server or if your client is ok to speak to a different domain for which you have the legit certificates. With the Netflix app both of this won’t be the case. When using it with a browser for which you can change connection settings it might work.
