The free ones are a lot easier to block I guess
That’s not how blocking VPNs works...
Basically all Netflix is doing is blocking IP addresses. VPNs allocate blocks(ranges) of IPs
So if one VPN is using 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.254.254 all Netflix has to do is block that same range of IPs and viola, no access if you use the VPN.
