However, if all your devices could not run Netflix, something may be wrong with your internet connection or your home network. If you have applied a parental control over your Internet service provider (ISP) or any security policies, it may also be the cause of the error. You may want to call your ISP to ask how to disable it. In addition, security policies could also be set in some modem routers. If you have it on your home network, you may want to disable it.
