Looks like Surfshark it’s not longer blocking Netflix Geo restrictions?! I haven’t been able to watch any shows other than us Netflix, anyone’s having this problem?
Seems like surfshark is having a lot of problems but doesn’t want to own up. Everything is our devices

I’m seeing the same problem with Netflix as well. This has always been a cat and mouse game where the VPNs need to stay one step ahead of Netflix and hopefully this will be resolved soon.
I’ve sent an email to my contact at Surfshark asking for an update and also provided feedback from you users on other problems over the past weeks.
Thanks for posting this.

Thanks Troy , it’s getting out of control. Something else I noticed, every once in a while after watching Kodi, when I close everything down my SS was disconnected

Ugh - that would be highly unfortunate if Netflix started being motivated to add more VPN server ips to their already lengthy blacklist.
Shark has always been off that list since I’ve started using them and if geoblocking becomes prevalent on SS, then it would impact its overall perceived value (to me, at least).
I don’t think any VPN is really safe, long term, against provider’s geoblocking efforts. It’s really about what counters those vpns implement, whether pre-emptive or corrective, to stay ahead of those efforts.
We’ll just have to wait and see if shark is able to leap ahead of any recent blocks and stay proactive with making regular adjustments. I doubt they would keep status quo and not work to maintain one of their big sales pitch bullet points.
I was able to use Netflix, connected out of a Japan server via shark, and didn’t throw an error code after watching 15 mins or so.
