Why proxies matter for this workflow

  • VPN and datacenter IPs are blocked by Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc. — only residential works for catalogue verification.
  • Studios need to verify regional rights enforcement is correct.
  • Localised pricing and ad-supported tier testing requires authentic residential routing.
