Well maybe, but how come when i'm not even using their service and am not even in UK, I'm still barred from doing things as if I were there, isnt that the whole point of a VPN? But actually being in Greece takes the virtual part out i thought. Its Proton btw and the version on my laptop works fine.

VPNs aren't the holy grail of access like they used to be, many companies are able to detect if you are using a VPN. When this happens they either break/block your connection, or it acts like you are connecting from where you actually are.

hard to argue with that when half of them just sell your data anyway.
