> It’s often the case that VPN users will find that services like Disney+ are blocked on many servers, presumably because the content provider is able to discover the VPN’s IP addresses and restrict access to those IPs.
Something that keeps bothering me about the title and content is that the VPN isn't blocking or unblocking Disney+. It's Disney+ that's doing the blocking. It's blocking the VPN's IP addresses.
If I block you from entering the building but you find a secret entrance through the air vents, you didn't unblock me, you evaded my block.
Their title and usage of blocking should be something more like: "How is NordVPN evading Disney+'s VPN-blocking?"
Great article though. This kind of stuff really needs to be more well known.
That it's possible to unknowingly be part of a botnet is a major flaw in the internet and ISP billing model. I think the only solution that has a shot is for unexpected bandwidth to lead to an unexpectedly high bill.
