Hey everyone,

I’m currently in Thailand and using a self-hosted WireGuard VPN server in my apartment in Germany.

The setup:

Running the VPN on a Fritz!Box in my apartment in Germany

Static residential IP address

No DNS leaks (tested)

Location services disabled on my iPad

Despite this, Netflix still detects that I’m using a VPN. I was under the impression that using a residential IP should bypass their VPN detection. Has anyone else experienced this? Could there be something I’m missing?

Appreciate any insights!
