I am trying to download from keep2share, but they are blocking free downloads for VPN users. I do not want to disable VPN, nor do I want to pay keep2share.

Any idea on how to get around this? Does other VPN providers also have the same issue? Perhaps switching to a different provider or something like that might be better? Just checking to see if you all have the same experience with other VPN providers.

    It might help if you said WHY you don't want to turn off the VPN for one download.

    Downloading p0rn. OF content to be specific.

    Have you tried different servers? Sometimes there are servers that have escaped the blocklist.

    No, I have not. I will try it.

    Got a phone or laptop? Download it using McDonald's WiFi.

    Can't really do that when you are downloading GBs of data in the background on a VM.

    Adventuresome? Spin up a free Oracle or AWS virtual cloud server, download it to the cloud server, then download from there to you. Delete the virtual server.

    Not worth the effort for me. I have a desktop which connects to VPN on default, and I use that for all my downloads, but I will consider this for my actual tech projects.
