Netflix, IPv6 and "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy."

Trying to watch a movie via Netflix, I get:

Whoops, something went wrong...
Streaming Error
You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy. Please turn off any of these services and try again. For more help, visit netflix.com/proxy. 

Error Code: M7111-1331-5059


The cause seems to be that I use an IPv6 tunnel (from Hurrican Electric). See http://seclists.org/nanog/2016/Jun/26 .
Great ... :-(

I don't understand why Netflix doesn't use IPv4 to detect the real origin of the customer, and then offers the 'correct'/meant offering via IPv6.


Anyway. Workarounds:
