> Netflix [...] basically covers everything for me

Not if you live (for example) in Germany. Every time I compare German Netflix to US Netflix I want to cry a little.

Procy service?

Netflix has been winning the war on proxies recently according to my friends - all VPS and VPN blocks are either already blacklisted or get blacklisted a couple of weeks after going live

Linode in the U. S., then ssh tunnel? I did that for the London Olympics with a London node, worked a treat. Seems to my ignorant mind to harder to detect.

I did that, not with Linode, but IIRC it stopped working around July/August 2015 and I stopped trying. They first completely stopped streaming to IPv6 addresses (people at that time were using Hurricane Electric as IPv6 tunneling) and when I enabled IPv4 on my VPS they banned the IP.
