If you aren’t partial to VPN’s and the Tor network you have probably only had Netflix for a couple of months and after you have re-watched all of Freaks and Geeks, caught up on How I Met your Mother and binge watched a few of the better Netflix Originals you may be wondering if it’s really worth paying your next $8.99.
