What is a proxy visit?
A web proxy is some kind of intermediate between a web user and an online resource. When visiting a website directly, you send a web request containing information about yourself (the server or PC that you are using, your location, browser fingerprints, IP address, etc.).
How do I get around proxy detection?
A simple trick for evading detection is to switch ports. A few top VPNs offer the option of port forwarding and enable you to choose which port you use within the app settings. For example, forwarding VPN traffic to port 443 is a good idea because that’s the port used by most HTTPS traffic.
How does Netflix know I’m using a proxy?
Netflix can also detect when some VPNs and proxies are being used through DNS. Many proxies and VPNs only route web traffic and not DNS traffic. If Netflix spots a mismatch between your DNS server location and your IP address location, it knows a proxy service is in use and throws the error.
