Amend openpyn us --netflix output

[ickam]

Recently only several nordVpn servers work with US Netflix. These servers are: #707-710, 722-725. Please provide a fix or let me know which lines of code I need to change

Hi there, Yeah I heard they keep blocking servers. NordVPN has also added more servers. I don't have Netfix, could you please have a look at newer server (higher ranges) and let me know which ones work. They are posted here (https://support.nordvpn.com/#/General-Info/1047407532/How-to-securely-watch-Netflix-with-NordVPN.htm). If you would like to commit the changes yourself, please clone the 'test' branch and edit the openpyn/filters.py at line 52. Thank you git clone --branch test https://github.com/jotyGill/openpyn-nordvpn.git

I amended US and UK server numbers and was going to test it locally before I submitted the commit, but I get errors:

~/openpyn-nordvpn $ sudo python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade -e
Traceback (most recent call last):

    importer = sys.path_importer_cache[path_item]
KeyError: ''

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

What do I do?

Also there is something I do not understand. The link that you provided specifies that I can connect to a server in any country (bar a few) to access US netflix content. So on my windows laptop I connected to the fastest server in Ireland and it gives me the content that is available in the US on doing the same on my raspberry pi with openpyn, it doesn't serve the content that was available on my windows laptop (madam secretary; grey's anatomy) - these are available in the US but not in Europe.

I suspect this has something to do with that Smartplay feature that Nordvpn rolled out recently. Is there any way openpyn could implement smartplay?

[jotyGill]

That's weird. Is python 3.6 your OS's native python version? or you have another version of python3 as well. btw shouldn't the command include "." at the end? try this. sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade -e .

I see the Smartplay system seems to use some form of proxies to reroute traffic instead of vpn connections. I got no idea how it works beyond that. Well, as long as we can directly vpn to servers that work with Netflix, it's alright.
