Let’s say you’re browsing the web with a VPN. You’re protecting your privacy, so you’re confident that hackers and advertisers can’t track you. Then you try to go to a site and it just won’t load.
This can throw a wrench into your productivity when you’re working. Or it can ruin your mood when you’re trying to have fun online. Tap or click here for free games you can play right from your browser.
If you want to bypass those infuriating errors that say “The page you are looking for can’t be found,” we can help. Here’s what to do when a VPN stops site access.
There are a few reasons why you can’t access certain apps or websites when your VPN is on. First, you may be dealing with connectivity issues. Perhaps the VPN you’re using is having server issues.
It could also be that the app or online service you want to access can’t connect to your VPN’s server. Then again, some sites go out of their way to block connections from VPN servers.
Privacy, security, the latest trends and the info you need to live your best digital life.
The site owners aren’t trying to make your life harder. They block VPNs to cover their backsides. (Legally, not literally.)
Many websites block VPNs because they don’t want to break their contracts. To put it simply, lots of VPN users want to bypass geo-blocking features.
Say you want to watch content that isn’t available in the U.S. If your favorite show is available in the U.K, you can connect to a server there so your internet can access that show. Tap or click here to unlock international Netflix to access more movies and shows.
Streaming sites don’t like this very much. It lands them in hot water with the production companies they team up with. Here’s why:
Streaming sites don’t want to violate the clauses in their contracts. They want to cover themselves and avoid legal trouble. Thus, they block VPNs.

Let’s look into some other possibilities. Perhaps a site you’re visiting has outdated security certificates, which a VPN may interpret as being malicious.
Don’t disable your VPN; you need it for safety and privacy protection. If you’re dealing with issues like this, there are a few easy fixes you can try first.
Tech issues are a common culprit. Here are a few tech tips to try:
Maybe the VPN you’re using isn’t the best. We can help with that.
Now that you know how to work around VPN blocks, let’s see if you need to upgrade. When you’re looking for VPNs, you’ll find a lot of options. Our pick is ExpressVPN. Kim trusts it and so should you.
Aside from helping you bypass geo-blocks, VPNs also protect your privacy from Big Tech corporations. These companies are supposed to safely handle our personal online data, but now they’re getting into the political game.
In other words, Big Tech companies want your data. They can match your internet activity to your identity or location by using your public IP address. Here at the Komando HQ, we don’t want any part of that and neither should you.
With ExpressVPN, no one sees your IP address. No one.
