The Man High Castle
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
Apparently Netflix is cracking down on users circumventing the geolocks on content -- but if you want to try, remember that ssh does socks5 (including DNS) proxying. Spin up a VPS at eg Digital Ocean or some other provider that has US presence, and simply:
You might want to install FoxyProxy for Firefox -- otherwise just point your browser to localhost:8080 as a socks5 server. Apparently Chrome does some funky bits with DNS over socks5 -- but as far as I can figure out the new default in Firefox is sane (DNS over socks if a socks5 proxy is defined).Not that you'll probably have to have "a US" Netflix account, unless they just use location data for determining what shows you're "entitled" to.
Same works for Amazon Prime, to eg. watch the free pilot of "Man in the High Castle": http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-High-Castle/dp/B00RSI5EHQ
Same deal -- you'll probably need to sign-out/register a "new" Amazon.com account. FYI.
