Why does this happen?
Certain apps and
websites (primarily streaming services) will often restrict your access depending on your geographic location. Because of this, they
completely block anybody who is using a
VPN service. So no matter what VPN you use, these services will
block you.
Typically these services can detect when you’re using a VPN by deciphering your IP address and tracking the virtual location. They can also detect if you reside outside of the
United States or if you are browsing the web at a
public hotspot, like at a
coffee shop or airport.
There is hope! Ourservers can be used tocircumvent these restrictions, and stay protected while you stream.
How do I prevent this?
VirtualShield is one of the few VPN providers who offer a specialized service that lets you
bypass these geographic limitations. Additionally, you will be able to access banks, online stores, and
other websites that would ordinarily be blocked by VPNs.
