Netflix could just redirect requests from HE.NET address ranges to IPv4 only servers and that would solve the issue for all HE.NET customers. This isn’t the case of attempting to circumvent GEOIP rules. They can detect that the connection is coming from a HE.NET address range, they can easily

This might turn out to be a problem for me - I have a "smart TV" that I watch Netflix on, and it appears to use IPv4. What specifically triggers Netflix to reject specific IPv6 clients? Is it the player's IPv6 address? Is all of he.net's address space blocked? I've been planning to move more of
