[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 975298, member: 31436"] That's not the case at all. Firstly, some streaming services do no check to see if you're using a VPN and therefore will work from any IP address in the country the service operates in. While some services do check to see if you're using a VPN, it takes time to for them to idenitify that a particular IP address is used by a VPN. Until they do, you can access the streaming service from another country. A lot of VPNs have servers which are specifically designed to allow you to use Windscribe and other streaming services. Of course, in order for this to actually keep working, the VPN provided needs to regularly change the IP addresses used, in order to continue to avoid being detected. As for using a VPN for uses other than avoiding geo restrictions, I will say that most people don't need to use a VPN. That's not to say that I think VPNs are useless. I use a VPN myself. But in my opinion it something people may want to use, rather than needing to use. [/QUOTE]
