Streaming Rules: Netflix and YouTube via Specific Regions

Streaming platforms are far pickier about IPs than ordinary sites: Netflix serves a per-IP regional catalog and blocks datacenter IPs; YouTube keys ads and quality to the IP. The standard solution is binding streaming traffic to dedicated "unblock" nodes.

Step 1: a streaming group

Append a manual group via Parsers (or by editing the profile):

append-proxy-groups:
  - name: "Streaming"
    type: select
    proxies: ["HK 01", "SG 01", "US 01"]

Fill it with nodes your provider marks as "streaming" or "Netflix".

Step 2: point streaming domains at the group

prepend-rules:
  # Netflix
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,netflix.com,Streaming
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,nflxvideo.net,Streaming
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,nflximg.net,Streaming
  - DOMAIN-KEYWORD,netflix,Streaming
  # YouTube
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,youtube.com,Streaming
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,googlevideo.com,Streaming
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,ytimg.com,Streaming
  # Disney+
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,disneyplus.com,Streaming
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,disney-plus.net,Streaming

For full coverage (CDN domains especially), use a community streaming RULE-SET instead of hand-maintaining the list.

Step 3: verify

1. Select an unblock node in "Streaming" and play a non-Netflix-original title (originals play from any IP and prove nothing).
2. Confirm on the Connections page that nflxvideo.net connections use the Streaming group.
3. Changing region = switching the node in the Streaming group and refreshing.

Troubleshooting

• "You seem to be using an unblocker": that node's IP is flagged - try another in the group.
• Wrong subtitle/audio language: region follows the IP; account language is a separate profile setting.
• 4K stutters: the unblock node lacks bandwidth. Consider separate "unblocks-but-slow" and "fast-but-no-unblock" groups for different tasks.
