Why am I seeing the error message: 'You seem to be using a proxy or VPN'?

If you see a VPN (Virtual Private Network) error message, this means that our system has detected that you are using a VPN, proxy, or "unblocker" service. Our content is available in specific regions and Viki’s Terms of Use prohibit users from using technology or other means to circumvent our content protection mechanisms.
