As per the official Netflix statement “If you experience the error code M7111-5059 on your computer, it typically indicates that our systems have detected that you are connecting via a VPN, proxy, or “unblocker” service.”

What it means

When you are connecting to the internet using VPN or any other means to hide your real location for security purposes; however since Netflix uses geo-blocking (to ensure that users can only access content meant for their locations only) it detects and blocks the VPN and the IP ranges used by the VPN.

So if you are using a VPN or any other services to bypass the security used to detect your location you will not be able to stream on Netflix.

Why Netflix Geo-Blocking You?

Netflix is bound by their licensing agreements for streaming content, for example, there might be a show which Netflix is licensed only to stream in the USA, and any other service provider has the rights of the same show in Europe or in Asia, for streaming.

To enforce the Geo_Blocking Netflix filters out the location as per your IP address and then blocks the content if it finds out you are streaming the content meant for other locations.
