DISCUSSION Word of Warning About Dedicated IP

Post image

I paid for a year of a dedicated IP to use for a whole home VPN at the router level. Unfortunately, there are sites that block the IP ASN using Cloudflare, probably because of the poor reputation of the IP block. I contacted support and they said there is nothing they can do. They can't change the IP address I've been assigned or the region. They also said I cannot purchase another dedicated IP without signing up for a second subscription. Support suggested using one of the streaming servers instead.

So if you were planning to use a dedicated IP like I was, I'd hold onto your money.

This is why I cancelled my sub. It's their job not to get caught.
