Can an IT support team that runs a website tell if you're using a VPN?

Streamate keeps freezing my accounts for "security purposes" and I'm using a VPN. The website is blocked in my country therefore I invested in a VPN to access it. Now they say "We will not be offering you any more services" Wtf.

In short Yes your ISP iP address is the key to their knowing and because you are using VPN which give a proxy address that's not except-able to them your locked out period.

It depends on the VPN provider you are using. Many of them use the same IP's year after year and they are well known as being VPN addresses and blocked.

Buy a good VPN.

Whatever you do don't fall for the bogus review on the so called best vpn review sites. They are all scams where the best reviewed VPN's are the ones that pay the review site the most money. Even the customer reviews on these sites are phoney.

If it's blocked in your country, you have exactly one reliable response: Move.
