Sorry if this is a dumb question but how come I can watch literally everything on Tubi except Columbo when I use a VPN? I turn off my VPN and presto, now I can watch Columbo. Wtf?
Legit Video streaming sites, including the free ones, have regional content rules for licensed content and will use technology to prevent people from accessing content from outside where it can be contractually viewed. This includes blocking of known vpn companies.
Thanks for your reply! A question, though: if the VPN server I’m using is in the U.S., and Columbo’s contractually allowed to be seen in the U.S., why can’t I watch it?
They know you are using a vpn and assume you are doing so to circumvent their TOS and they are preventing you.
Well, that’s really insidious of them. Thanks again for your help!
