This was really fun. Nice job.

Interested to know what's changed (if anything) in the two years since this was written.

They specifically used "VPN" in the error message but I can't remember the exact text of the whole message.

Last 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 wo…
