alt Hacker NewsLast night I was blocked from HBOMAX (or whatever brand they go by these days) for being on a VPN. That was the first time I've ever encountered something like that on HBOMAX. I wonder if there is some coordinating event here.

Did the error condition actually call out "VPN use" ? Did the HBO UI actually call out, by that term, a VPN ?
... or were you simply using a VPN and that's the most likely culprit for a general failure of the service ?
Genuinely curious ...
