About 1/3 of people are using VPN to access content outside their country by masking their IP so that they are accessing from that country.

The most common and popular VPN services that don’t keep records currently are Private Internet Access, TorGuard, IPVanish, BTGuard and VikingVPN.
Netflix does not have a stand on it because they are making money from outside their own country anyway. Why block a new stream of revenue from Canada?

Now recently Bell wants to crack down on it. I like it how cbc calls it 'stealing'. Not really.

Bell and Rogers both own the most expensive and failing franchise in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Trying to gouge customers with their high bills to consumers is all for financing this horrible team.
Evidently, for those stuck in the US who misses Canadian content , there is no complaints for us if we were to use the VPN to watch Canadian content..woo hoo!
