I am in US, and recently (2 days ago) signed up for Netflix India (new account) using Surfshark. I have an Indian debit card, so the payment process was smooth.
Since then, I have been using it. As I wasn’t sure if India has 30 day geo lock, so to be safe I always used VPN whenever I used Netflix (on FireTV or computer).
It seemed to be a pain, but worked okay. However today, I am not able to access NF when I connect to an Indian IP. It gives me “Site cannot be reached” on computer and “NW-8-17“ error on FireTV.
Kinda new to this. Not sure if India is in the list of Geo restricted countries. Should I even try connecting to NF directly?
Try Netflix without a VPN. If it’s geo-restricted, you’ll receive a message to say the account cannot be used in your region. More about nw-8-17 here: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/14981
I don’t think India has geolocation t all
Wait for 28 days. After that geo lock is disabled.
That’s great!! You got the debit card because you lived there or another way? It’s also possible that Netflix blocked the IP addresses from your VPN provider🤷🏽♂️

Iam in new york and no geoblock,Indian netflix, new account just 3 days old.
Anyone else has the problem that every month it asks for a new credit card?
Same here, can I use my account with a VPN while waiting for those 28 days??
The question could be dumb, but do you know if Netflix India has geoblock? I mean, your acc doesn’t have a block, but idk if it’s lucky or the normal system.
Yes it worked for 3 months but this time it’s not accepting it anymore
I’ll just pay the regular plan, it’s not worth this hassle man
