Just so I am clear, everything I have read about the residential proxies in TVs (heavily leaning towards LG and Samsung) has been that they are baked into the shady apps the smart TV platforms allow you to install, not that LG or Samsung are directly running said proxies. This is obviously still very bad, but it isn't LG or Samsung doing it as much as not preventing it in any way, which they obviously should be doing. This is just what I am aware of though, do you have any additional info/links that point to them doing it directly? I'd really like to know, as I have two LG TVs. I have one locked down to an internal subnet and just use Jellyfin, but the family still likes using Netflix on the other one and I'd like to know if the proxies are essentially unavoidable rather than being tied to those shitty "ad free" games.
