Also, does it actually work? I feel like cloud servers would be even easier to block because one, they’re on fixed IP blocks and a simple reverse lookup will literally return a name like “X Cloud Hosting VPS”. And I imagine if they have a blacklist of known VPNs, they probably don’t expect “legitimate” traffic to come from a server either, they probably only expect residential and public Wi-Fi addresses.
I was talking in regard to service providers like Netflix taking measures targeted against VPN IP addresses.
In regard to subpoenas, VPN services can rat you out too. I have only heard of only one provider that has resisted government pressure.

Has worked fine so far. But yeah it’s easy to tell if the IP is from a VPS provider so it could stop working any time.
