At one point some of the web TV like Netflix  etc get to memorise all the VPN IP numbers and one cannot connect. Not sure if it's still the case ?

 

But is VPN legal in Thailand with all the red tape hassles that change daily here ?

There are ways round blacklisted IP addresses.

Of course VPNs are legal. If they weren't then the mods would close all VPN related threads, since they would contravene AN community rules by discussing illegal activities.

I VPN back to a router in my house, in my home country.  It will never be black listed. So no problem for me. 

 

What "ways" around blacklisting do you suggest, because I also have a commercial VPN and many sites have blacklisted their servers.

I wouldn't suggest/recommend anything without knowing what someone was trying to achieve and the problem encountered when trying to achieve it.

Just off the top of my head, you could simply change your location within the VPN, which may get you past the blockers. You could also get a static ip address from your VPN provider (at a cost), which could lessen the chances of being blacklisted, as opposed to a shared ip address. NordVPN, Surfshark, Cyberghost (& others) offer this as an add-on service. You could also choose a VPN with a proprietary protocol such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN making it harder for a firewall to detect that you are using a VPN. Some VPN providers have obfuscated servers which may also get past the blocks. There are loads of articles on the WWW relating to this, if you can sort the wheat from the chaff. Using a VPN to connect to a residential address in another country as you already do, would seem you already have an optimal solution.

In the past, I've done all the things you have suggested. 

 

I even paid for a dedicated VPN, but the website knew it was from a data center, so blacklisted anyway.  Never bothered with the extra expense of a dedicated VPN since, because it didn't work.   

 

The websites are nothing special.  Main website is Foxtel for the sport.

 

Yes, I do have a solution that works, but your post may be a little misleading to newbies starting out with VPN's to get around geoblocking.  It's not as simple as just paying for a VPN with a "good" company.

 

Commercial VPN IP address do get blacklisted. 

 

You never said what / who / how you are getting around geoblocking.
