Prevent proxy/VPN streaming error messages from Netflix when using a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel.

Workarounds for Netflix and the blocking of Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnels

The dreaded "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy." error message. Cool story bro.

This gist was essentially created out of my own rant about Netflix being hostile to IPv6 tunnel services since June 2016. You are welcome to read my opinion on the matter, this is the more technical side to the issue and how to combat it within your own network.

Since I wrote this, various GitHub users have contributed their thoughts and ideas which has been incorporated into this gist. Thank you to everyone who have contributed their own methods and implementations.

The problem

Netflix now treats IPv6 tunnel brokers (such as Hurricane Electric) as proxy servers. A while ago it became apparent to users and Netflix that somewhat by accident, IPv6 tunnel users were being served content outside of their geolocation because of the way Netflix was identifyi

SSH Agent Forwarding in Python: Paramiko's undocumented API

What

A how-to for ssh-agent forwarding via Paramiko. Specifically, I used Paramiko v1.15.2 in this example.

Why

Paramiko's docs do not document the API required to do ssh-agent forwarding. I ended up finding out how by reading pull requests for ssh-agent forwarding features in frameworks that use Paramiko under the covers, like fabric and ansible.

Update:

Besides attempting to document this process here, I've opened a bug with Paramiko to document this API in their official docs.

How
