In the business of media streaming, rightholder will require that you check for vpn and proxies in addition to countries when deciding if a given viewer will be able to stream a given media.

Does that actually work? That could explain an issue with a particular streaming service I use. There are currently some ongoing routing issues in BGP land and my ISP. When trying to stream, it says I’m using a proxy, so due to the incredible route my packets are taking, that might be it. What’s funny is that the only way to watch this service is to use a vpn right now.

They probably just keep a list of known VPN server IP’s.

Routing should not impact the detection, it's usually based on maxmind's anonymous/datacenter database using your IP. Accuracy won't be 100% of course but you have to show compliance.

of course it doesnt work but they gotta try clutching pearls and applying whatever pressure they can think of on these fronts
