Netflix Charly: Thanks for chatting in! Charly here, how can I assist you? You: Hej Charly - i have a problem Accessing Netflix You: when i start a Stream it says that i'm using a proxy You: but i do not use a proxy Netflix Charly: Oh I see, we'll look into it right away, can I have the email address linked to your account to check some additional information on it? You: XXX@jalogisch.de You: my Network i have an IP from: http://static.jalogisch.de/uploads/2016/ripe_lookup.png You: and my IP with Local Information: http://static.jalogisch.de/uploads/2016/wmip_2016.png You: at the moment i'm sitting on a computer that is connected to my companies VPN - thats why i connect with other IP to you You: and the Streaming is working You: for me it looks like a problem with the proxy lookup you need todo because of the copyright laws Netflix Charly: I see, thank you for letting me know, so you're actively connected through a VPN on work and the streaming stopped working, correct? You: no - let me explain You: at home i get the message that i'm using a proxy when i try to stream netflix. You: on every device You: on my computer http://static.jalogisch.de/uploads/2016/Netflix_2016.png You: and on my TV and on my FireStick You: but i do not use a proxy and i have a native IP4 Connection without any proxy services You: as this problem occurs even when i do a reboot of my cable modem (to get a new IP) i guess that netflix has a problem doing the proxy lookup with my provider You: as ripe shows correct information http://static.jalogisch.de/uploads/2016/ripe_lookup.png You: and even my IP is located to my home town http://static.jalogisch.de/uploads/2016/wmip_2016.png You: and this problem comes up at sunday/monday You: my ISP is (as they said) in contact with your tech department, but as long as this is not fixed i'm not able to watch anything at home. You: and using always a VPN is not an option. You: So - What can i do to get Netflix back working? You: i had already called the German hotline and they should have added some notes to my account about this Netflix Charly: Alright, let me have a quick look on the account and have the notes translated to English and then I'll contact my team about it. You: o boy - i had give what they should write to them already in english ... to avoid language problems Netflix Charly: No worries at all, I'll be right back with you Netflix Charly: Hey, quick question, you are physically located in Germany, correct? You: yes You: at the city that can be seen in the screenshot Netflix Charly: Thank you very much, let me check in now with my team to see what we can find out about this situation You: perfect - if you need more information please let me know. You: backround - i'm a DevOps Engineer and would be able to give technical information Netflix Charly: Hey, just letting you know that we're still checking on our options here for you, I'll be right back. You: thanks - i'm in a telco and will have this window open until we have finished here on this topic Netflix Charly: Thank you for waiting, we checked here on what we could do for you but in order to progress even further we would need to run some tests on your devices but since you're at work it wouldn't be possible, could you please contact us back once you're home? I'll make sure to leave a very detailed note here so you don't have to do all the explanation again. You: ok, but i'm sitting at home - having only one device at the office network You: so i can just go to the computer or ipad/iphone next to me and make any test you like to Netflix Charly: That would be absolutely great, please try streaming once on every device and let me know when the message comes up You: starting and instant the error comes up You: N8106-154-5059 You: is the error code Netflix Charly: That was on the computer, correct? You: yes You: safari on a mac Netflix Charly: Right, and all browsers are showing the same, correct? You: yes You: on my sony bravia tv i get the error aip-703 You: and on my iphone no errorcode is give - only that "error, it looks like you use aproxy" message Netflix Charly: Gotcha, then let me go ahead and give this information directly to my team You: (y) Netflix Charly: Thank you for waiting, we ran the tests here so give me amoment to type down the results You: ok no problem Netflix Charly: Alright, we checked here and were able to confirm that you're trying to access from Germany as you mentioned, no problem there, the thing is that the internet you're trying to use is showing some settings that are showing as a Proxy, although not necessarily one, my best recommendation to you would be to try accessing from a different internet connection from another household, like your computer that is using the companies VPN, and try accessing from there, if it is successful then the issue would be entirely on the internet service and they should be able to fix it for you specifically by reestablishing all internet settings to default. You: Hej Charly - thank you. I had already tried this and even when i use my mobile 3g it is working. You: BUT when i reconnect my internet connection to get a new IP netflix is running for some time. You: Netflix is pointing to my ISP and my ISP is pointing to Netflix You: that is total Customer Nightmare and will end in a Termination of both services on my end when this will not end! You: I'm tech Person (Working in Internet Business for 15 Years) in HA Environments with million of users You: and your microservice which runs to prevent proxy users to use netflix has issues with my ISP You: and the only thing you do is pointing to my ISP You: i have used both netflix and my ISP for a longer period without any problems You: and only after Netflix has enabled the proxy "prevention" i have issues You: and i would like to show that his is a technical issue and not something that can be pushed back to me. You: It is a problem with Netflix Environment and Server with my ISP i demand that you get this fixed! You: Netflix is the part that has changed something and no-one else Netflix Charly: I totally understand your position but since we do not have access to your internet settings we cannot check that out here for you, that's why we advise to contact the ISP to check them out for us, the most likely explanation is that these setting that is showing on our side has always been there but did not cause any trouble until the Proxy blocking recently and that it enters in the category to be blocked, if not then for no reason at all would we block it, that much I can assure you. You: and again - i total understand this. BUT it was working for month. you changed something on your end You: and now you do the lazy way and push me back. You: I do not use a proxy i have a direct IPv4 connection to the internet You: if i look at my traceroute i have 3 hops before i enter amazon Network (and this means your content network) You: it's a shame - netflix does not have a mail adress i can send my technical findings to You: and as i understand you this is not wanted because the all mighty goods at netflix do not make any errors You: thank you for showing me how to not interact with customer. You: you have one month (because i had payed for the next month yesterday) and i'll be never back You: did you wrote a note to my account with the information i have given you? Netflix Charly: I'm really sorry that you feel that way but what I can assure you is that I gave you all true information and tried everything in my power to get it back on track, even contacted our techs and they're the ones that gave me th results, I'll make sure to leave all this in the note because I can only write it once the chat is over, no detail will be left out.
