The Block Was Never Real. Two Ways Through, No VPN.

How Wix-style country, VPN and TOR blockers actually decide who gets in — and two methods that walk past them with no VPN at all.

June 1, 2025 |

Many websites today — especially those built on platforms like Wix — offer tools that let admins block access from specific countries, TOR networks, or even known VPN services. Visit such a site from a blocklisted country or through a VPN, and your access might be denied or redirected to a custom error page, like a "fake" 404.

Below, we break down exactly how these blocks decide who gets in — and walk through the methods, step by step, that get you past them with no VPN.
