VPN block

Tunnel traffic restriction

A VPN block is a restriction that prevents users from accessing content through a virtual private network.

Streaming services, governments, and institutions deploy VPN blocks to enforce geographic restrictions or network policies: Netflix's VPN block keeps detecting my connection.

The term also describes the act of implementing such restrictions: China's VPN block has intensified.
