Hi everyone,
apparently this is happening with a lot of relays node (My italian relay
node was blocked too)
https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/472kqu/netflix_started_blocking_tor_relayonly_nodes/
As Roger said we have to try to identify someone inside Netflix to pitch
"our cause", on the other hand, it will probably be really useful to try
to step up also in public (social/PR), for example asking to EFF to
support this.
We are struggling convincing people to open nodes, we really have to
protect them, we will see a decrease number of nodes

There is actually a service that they can use to do this parsing
for them:
https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py
e.g.
https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py?ip=128.31.0.34&port=443
Now, I bet Netflix has more than one IP address. It would not be hard
to adapt this service to help them do what they should be wanting to
do.
See https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse#Bans for more details.
One of our next steps might be to find a useful technical contact
inside Netflix, so they can start doing this advocacy and education
from
the inside.
