The phrase highlights a common problem encountered by users of a specific Virtual Private Network service when attempting to access content on a popular streaming platform. It indicates a situation where the user’s ability to view video content on that platform, while connected through the VPN, has been interrupted or completely prevented.
The ability to bypass geographical restrictions and access a wider range of content is often a key reason individuals subscribe to VPN services. When this functionality is disrupted, it can negate a primary perceived benefit of the VPN subscription. Historically, streaming services have actively worked to prevent VPN usage to enforce regional licensing agreements, leading to a continuous cycle of VPN services developing methods to circumvent these blocks, and streaming services then adapting their techniques.
