Geo-blocking or geoblocking is technology that restricts access to Internet content based upon the user's geographical location.
Geo-blocking can be circumvented. When IP address-based geo-blocking is employed, virtual private network (VPN) and anonymizer services can be used to evade geo-blocks.

VPN
A VPN, or virtual private network, is a piece of software that creates a secure connection between your device and the internet.

We recommend using a reliable VPN that doesn’t leak your IP address, log your data, or put you at risk in any way.
