LazyDr:
I'm not here to argue, and if I've come across as deluded or arrogant, that wasn't my intention, and I'll apologize for that. However, as I said, I don't have an expectation, I'm merely asking the question in case help is available. The only assumption I think I've made at this point, is that the equipment I have, while difficult to use as an amateur, is probably capable of doing what I'm asking, and that someone might be able to assist me in doing that.
If you, as a more knowledgeable person in this area, tell me that what I'm asking is just not possible, then that's helpful. It seems from my own internet research that it is possible though, and I figure I must just be doing something wrong along the way while trying to set it up
If what you posted earlier is right, you're using the the modem\router that Telecom gave you when you signed up, aka the cheapest unit they could deliver. I wouldn't assume that it can do what you want it to do unless you can find it in the manufacturers manual as being supported. It certainly isn't in the manual on the Spark site.
If you've tried the Getflix instructions and they don't work, you can look at some of the VPN providers as they also have good detailed instructions. if you don't find anything that contradicts Getflix's instructions, there's two possibilities, either your configuration isn't sticking or it isn't going to over come the access control.
