# VPN blocking

> Video protection on streams through VPN blocking.

## Introduction

In the streaming industry, it is all-too-common for end-users to try and bypass content restrictions. As you
may have read in a related section, Motto offers a feature to enable [geo-blocking](/guides/streaming/video-protection/geo-blocking)
protection on your streams. However, users may attempt to avoid those restrictions by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN),
as it can be used to hide the end-user's country of residence.

VPN blocking, as the name suggests, is a protective measure Motto offers to prevent end-users from
viewing your streams while on a VPN.
