Netflix to block proxy access to content not available locally

Going to India: Netflix declined to comment on its plans but industry executives told Reuters they expect an India announcement as early as this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Video-streaming service provider Netflix Inc's subscribers will no longer be able to use proxies to watch content not available in their home country. 

Subscribers often resort to proxies, or servers that facilitate access to Internet content not available locally, to watch Netflix's popular shows such as House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.
