Sometimes reinstallation of Smartflix works.

Still works for me, but it must only be a matter of time.
Smartflix was what made Netflix worth it. Without smartflix I'm going to cancel my account.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Well the message I got said it affects roughly around 30% of the users,so most are safe for now.
I'll try reinstalling it and see if it works.

Just checked on reddit and the devs of Smartflix are aware of the issue and trying to fix it. Netflix is apparently trying some new antivpn solution which doesn't allow SmartDNS.
But like Couler said if Netflix wins with their new policy I cancel the sub.

We can only hope that Netflix see the massive unsubscriptions and folds.
I mean, they add a ton of new countries, get people to sign up for the same amount as in the US while giving only 10-20% of the content and then remove a very well known loophole? Surely they can't be so naive not to realize that many people sign up knowing they can watch the huge library that other countries have!
For me, I loved using the UK version since it had tons of great British shows that you couldn't easily find for download. What's left on the Belgian version, is the kind of stuff I can very easily download most of the time so why would I still pay €9 a month?

Ummm, netflix were basically forced into plugging that loophole. It was in their best interest to keep it open, however in this case Sony didn't think so.

I didn't know much about Netflix, but I am interested in a sub now since they produce great shows. Did I understand correctly that if I get a sub, I can only watch a small portion of their catalog? So what's the use of the big digital catalog if you restrict it?

It depends were you live as the catalog is restricted to the distribution rights Netflix obtained for particular countries.
You could use a VPN to watch almost everything but one day some one at Sony woke up and thought - wow people pay to stream their favourite shows and not pirate them from the torrents and made a threatening mail that they will pull down Sonys' movies from Netflix.
Well it wasn't like that but Sony and some other companies weren't too happy about people watching their shows all over the world and not buying their BRs so they stick a branding rod to Netflix anus and said: 'crack down the VPNs or we will pull out our licensed crap from your VOD'.
And Netflix being the pussy it apparently is had done that.

Netflix's major attraction point is the huge library of movies and shows, I wasn't aware they had to restrict it. The Netflix originals are just the cherry on top. If I search for what is available here in NL, I only get a huge list of the library. I can't see how much they blocked for NL.

Except not quite.
For some originals they have sold the rights to local distributors. With a deal that they can stream even the originals only AFTER the local distributor has aired it.
Orange is new black for example has such a deal.

I noticed that a lot of series have gone in the past year. They promised a lot of new content when they started blocking VPN and yet it feels like the kind of stuff I like watching is decreasing.

Yeah, I've bene reading up on it since I really like the concept now, but Netflix seems to have taken the "our originals rule, fuck the rest" attitude atm. Bleh, I can download illegally even the weirdest shit, but a lot of the most common shit isn't available through legal channels.
