Bought a VPN to watch a show, got my account locked instead

I paid $80 for a year of a VPN service to watch a show that's blocked in my country. The streaming site flagged my account for 'suspicious activity' and locked me out. Now I'm out the VPN money and can't access my paid streaming account either. Where do we draw the line between companies protecting their rights and just punishing paying customers?

Actually, the VPN didn't cause the lock. The streaming site flagged the new login location. In my experience, using a VPN server in your own country sometimes avoids that red flag. It's a frustrating system for sure.

Spent eighty bucks just to get locked out? Brutal.
