It seems that the author is getting a different IP from NordVPN each time they make a request. Does that mean Disney could block this by preventing the request from coming from another IP each time a request is made?
- Exuma 7y agoThat would block all "first requests" which wouldn't work
- kyledrake 7y agoAfter a logged in session, you could count the number of times an IP address changes, and if it changes more than 3 or something in the last 10 minutes, it's a good sign that they're using some sort of malware VPN.
- aflag 7y agoOr that they could be walk around the city and connecting to different wifis or maybe the person's connection is poor and keeps dropping and reconnecting. I'm sure there are plenty other legitimate use cases where the IP changes frequently. Also, bear in mind that blocking people from using it is not in disney+ interest. They do it just so they can prove in court they are following the copyright agreements they have. But if someone "hacks" the system, they are not incentivised to put in resources to fix the hacks so they can have less paying costumers.
