What Is Geo-Blocking And How You Can Bypass It
I know most of the people who assemble here are pretty savvy about this stuff, but for those who may be confused, here's a very basic article that tries to explain the concept in simple terms, with recommendations of how you can beat the border blockers.
A lot of American radio stations restrict content into Canada, as do many streaming services. So if accessing either of those is important to you, this will outline how you can you do it simply and easily - albeit for a small usually yearly fee. I can attest it's well worth the money.

Not quite sure how it's a tax, since you don't have to buy it or use it if you don't want to (or why they're parasites.) I went without it for years and now I wouldn't even consider not having a VPN. But hey, to each his own. I use mine all the time.

Why do they do that? I've always wondered.

If they're running US commercials for advertisers and products we can't access, we cost them bandwidth and royalties they can't recoup with ad dollars. Target isn't going to pay extra to advertise to Canadian listeners who won't buy their product.
