Gunslinger has agreed there is nothing illegal about using VPNs or DNS. He has, however, shown us Netflix's T+C's and has shown us why he thinks people are illegally watching TV shows from other countries. His post has certainly made the area less grey for me than it was previously.
It would be a shame if others could not respond in their defence.

I think the Netflix terms and conditions are as such because they have to be that way to keep content providers happy. Given that Netflix could easily prevent this happening if they wanted to but don't, suggests that they don't see it as an issue. I they don't see it as an issue, why should users?
The internet has made content global and content providers are resisting this so that they can make more money. They really should have learned from the record industry and make virtually all content globally available via reasonably priced subscription services.
And what about DVD content that was only available as region 1 content and only available to buy in the US? Should I not have imported my copy of, amongst other titles, La Femme Nikita, years ago and played it on my region free modified DVD player?
