I seriously doubt it's hostility. The likeliest thing is they were looking to stop people from using Tor to bypass country restrictions. So when they found a public list of all the Tor nodes, they blocked them all. Not realizing that only a few of them are actually capable of proxying.
For them to continue their "attack on unblockers" while allowing legal Tor users to watch, they need to simply read the flags of each node to find if they are exit or not. Then block only exit.
This should fix almost all problems. As very very few people will run an exit node from home. So blocking the exit ips will not block legitimate Netflix users.
We just need to contact the right people.
I dont think its hostility. For the normal support assistant security
and/or TOR is like a black hole
and they do not know anything about it or know stuff from the
mainstream press which is mostly
complete bullshit. I would not blame the support person, try to get a
supervisor who knows what we
are doing. Good luck!
