Thanks LTJD Obvious!

Anyways VPNs are advertised as a work around streaming service region locking but I've never seen it work. I'm not a network guy, barely know the basics of TCP IP and network topology but afaik it's trivial to detect requests originating from VPNs.

It's like giving someone a PO Box address (US thing, Google it). They can't really find your real address but they know you're not living inside a tiny box in a USPS store in a strip mall.

Edit: I apologize for my tone, it's early for me and I had a rough morning including a truly awful commute. I wasn't trying to call you out but I see how it could be taken that way.

I haven’t needed to do this in years but it definitely used to work. I’m guessing the streaming services have become more sophisticated about it now.
