Netflix and VPN

[ZetaMale]

It really sucks that Netflix is blocking subscribers that are using VPN even though they are U.S. based subscribers that are using a U.S. based VPN service. It's been said that Netflix is developing Netflix produced movies and series because of the MPAA insisted blocking of VPN. This messes up our soldiers that are stationed in places like Afghanistan. Plus, when I'm out of the country it makes me angry that I can't access my Netflix account. Anyway, Netflix has other issues in that they aren't offering many of newer movies and TV series. And some of the stuff I want to watch is only available on DVD and/or BluRay (which I'm not subscribed to). So, I'm not so sure if Netflix is a good deal anymore. Other streaming services are probably being forced to reject VPN connections also.

What is the difference between a VPN and a private vpn?

Private vpn you use your own IP address from your home internet connection using a vpn router.

The issue I believe is that Netflix is aware of most of the public vpn services and have them blocked.

I'd like to be able to use a public vpn also which improves security.

Tried with PIA, no go.

I already have a private vpn set up but it doesn't help to "hide" web surfing - so I need a suitable public VPN. I suppose there's a way to configure the public vpn client so that it can be bypassed when using Netflix. Please don't suggest TOR for anonymous surfing.
