    I think they’re referring to sites like 123movies and the like, which are usually blocked by most ISPs

        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.

            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.
