American that will be moving to Stuttgart with my wife in about six months. Has anyone tried setting up a VPN in order to get American streaming services? How are the internet speeds?

according yo law, if a show wasn't aired on german TV yet, it's not allowed for Netflix to let people stream it.

How did you came up with that nonsense? :/

Content owners simply like to sell their content on a per-country basis because it makes them more money.

If a something isn't on Netflix Germany it usually means that...

  • Someone else paid the content owner for exclusive rights to publish said content (or at least they're hoping someone will/still negotiating)

  • Dubbing etc isn't finished yet

  • Their market research says there are not enaugh potential viewers to justify the investment - at least right now

Netflix is actively banning VPNs

They're actively trying to ban VPNs because the content owners demand them to - Netflix has no reason to care as long as you pay them.
