Netflix Proxy error on Samsung devices

We’re aware that customers using Samsung android devices may be getting a ‘proxy error’ when trying to unblock US Netflix. 

We’ve looked into this, and it appears that since Marshmallow 6.0.1 , something is running in the background on this device, which is logging your location (even when location services are disabled) and passing this to Netflix. 

22/12/16 – FIXED – We can confirm that this issue can be resolved by installing OpenVPN on your device.
