default locale
I'm currently in a country outside of the US and when I try to watch netflix videos, i get an error saying the service isn't offered in my current location. Even when I type the URL that I use at home in the US, it redirects to a URL with the country at the end. Is there any way that I can override the current country?

hello nora_acl, netflix is probably detecting your location through your ip address, that's the address that you get assigned by your internet service provider and can't be directly influenced by the browser.
you'd probably have to find a proxy or vpn service that offer an ip-address from the u.s.
