I think they're referring to sites like 123movies and the like, which are usually blocked by most ISPs
are they? my ISP doesn't block sites like that... Is this a DNS thing?
Could be a US thing. There are certain sites for ripping youtube videos (etc) that aren’t accessible from here due to piracy laws and you have to VPN into Asia etc to have access.
I have not had that issue in the US.
One example (for me anyway) is inserting “pp” into any youtube video address before the .com so it’s “youtubepp.com/etc”, and opens the youtube link in another service to download it by a few different options. I get a no-access notice if I go there connected to a US vpn server, or with no vpn, but if I switch to a non-US server, it works without a problem.
sorry, specifically youtube videos, I've had that issue, but it has nothing to do with ISPs, and I have not had any site blocked because I'm in the US.
got it!
