Most of us are aware how geoblocks are one more reason people nudge towards piracy. Well, I didn’t knew that companies imposed geoblocks even on free content.

    My favorite is streaming apps geoblocking contents and blocking access from all known vpn networks, then wondering why piracy on the rise again.

      Shameless promo for a paid service:

      Most of Protonvpn addresses seem to not be in those lists usually. I haven’t had any issues with anime sites, Netflix etc

      That doesn’t mean it will continue to be the case, it might just also be that I have gotten lucky so far
