Using a VPN to access online services like YouTube Premium at a discounted price is nothing new. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows users to change their IP address, making it appear that they are accessing from a different geographical location.
That’s how users are subscribing to YouTube Premium in other countries, especially those with lower living standards, at a much cheaper price. For example, in the US, a YouTube Premium account costs about $11.99 per month, but in India it’s only about $1.70.
Now, in an effort to ensure fairness and keep its services priced fairly, Google has implemented technical measures to detect and block VPN connections. These measures can include examining IP addresses and analyzing network traffic patterns to determine whether a user is using a VPN.
Once the VPN usage is detected, the system will block the registration process or require the user to turn off the VPN to continue. This means they will have to pay a higher price according to their country. For those who are used to using VPNs to save money, this may be an unwelcome change.
This move by Google has caused mixed reactions from users. On the one hand, users believe that this measure is necessary to ensure fairness among customers and maintain the sustainability of the service. On the other hand, many people expressed dissatisfaction, especially in countries where YouTube Premium subscription fees are high.
Of course, even if Google does take a more aggressive approach, it’s likely that users will find new ways to get around it. But Google’s move could make people think twice about the tricks they employ.
