    Tons of people use VPNs for region restricted services like Netflix

    I was going to criticize your choice of units there, but after thinking about it some I decided this was probably correct and that my criticisms were in the wrong. Touche, you win again.

      Not true. There’s plenty of VPNs that have IP addresses that aren’t blocked by streaming services. The one I use has plenty that still work with Netflix, etc.
