I'm not sure if that impacts Netflix, but it might be worth checking.

individual IP address. If you have a major internet security package (like Norton or Bitdefender, MacAfee, etc) an update might have activated one...

it's basically a network of its own and some VPN parameters may be interfering w/ your Netflix in running on your platform.

I'd say that the chances of you being on a VPN are zero, since you aren't aware of a VPN on your digital platform.

When I try to continue watching it won't load. And there's virtually no way to get help from Netflix.

Check the source of your feed. I'm guessing it's an internet connection issue.

Then redownload. Login again.

Reboot your device as a last measure.
