Geoblocking

Post by Night457 »   0 likes

I can use a VPN to get around geoblocking for some streaming videos that have country restrictions. But how do I tell in the first place what countries are blocked for a web address, other than trial and error?

I thought for certain there would be some online tool easily found with a Google search, BUT NOOOOOO. Every result gives tedious explanations about what geoblocking is and why it is done, and says that one way around it is to use a VPN set to a country that does NOT geoblock the video. Well DUH, I know that.

Is there some site that tests a web address and says what countries block it and what do not? Or do I actually have to keep logging in and out of different servers from different countries with my VPN until I find one that works? That just seems so stupid!

Thank you for any input.
