Streaming & VPN

SmartDNS can't work with Netflix — it never changes your IP, and your IP is what Netflix reads. Plus the part most guides miss: Netflix Household and the VPN block are two separate systems, and fixing one doesn't fix the other.

I built a WireGuard VPN on a VPS. It tunnelled perfectly and every streaming service refused it, because the IP resolved to AWS. Why that was inevitable, what self-hosting is genuinely good for, and why it isn't even cheaper.

Peacock is US-only. Find your country, see what you can actually watch there, and the VPN method that unlocks the full US catalog and Premier League in 2026.
