Netflix on Linux from outside USA

Netflix is spreading all over the world quite fast.
As soon as I am using only Linux on home computers, I was worried about Netflix working properly.
Quick research showed that Netflix is available native on Linux in Google Chrome. So, the problem with compatibility was solved.
I checked Mozilla browser and Netflix doesn’t work there at all.
The only problem with service is limited content for non-US world. I knew, people are using VPN connection. So, I considered this option and searched for available VPN services.
Second one I tried was VyprVPN (be sure, it is not advertisement). The cheapest option offered PPTP connection. I used detailed step-by-step tutorial on PPTP setup for this VPN service Linux (Ubuntu) PPTP VPN Setup Instructions and that’s it - VPN is enabled and Netflix is working with USA content.
