What causes the Netflix error message ‘F7111-1957-205040’?

Before we move on to the solutions, make sure that you have an active internet connection with administrator privileges on the account you are using.
Solution 1: Turning off Proxies and VPN
Netflix provides service to each geographical region separately keeping in mind the copyrights and legalities. Users make use of different proxies and VPN’s to gain access to a specific region and trick Netflix into thinking that you are physically present at that address. Netflix has tried countering this way of viewing videos and if something doesn’t match at their side regarding your IP or location, you might get this error message. Hence you should turn off your proxies and VPN’s and try accessing the website again.
Solution 2: Resetting Browser information and relogging
If you are not using any type of VPN or proxy but still face this error message, you should try relogging into your account after logging out. This will likely remove issues your account might have with bad data stored in the cache or temporary user profile folder.
