Netflix N8210 Error Fixed!

We’ve been having issues at my school since I’ve updated my content filter to the newer version of ClearOS.  I kept receiving a Netflix error N8210 when attempting to ‘Instantly Watch’ a video from their collection.

ClearOS uses a form of Squid for the transparent proxy on top of Dansguardian-AV.  The solution below should essentially work for anyone that is using a content filter.  The fix is to add these specific domains to your content filter exclusion list.

I located these files after using grep on the dansguardian access.log file to track which servers Netflix was attempting to access during a ‘Instant Stream’ session.  These are:

netflix.com
netflix.net
nflximg.com
nlfxext.com
llwnd.net
edgesuite.com
