summary: Solutions when a website may be blocked in your country
description: 'Free solutions first. VPN providers are listed only when a regional block is suspected (HTTP 451, block-page wording from a cached agent check, or visitor_reported=1), ordered by documented criteria without commission. Links with affiliate:true are ads (label "Ad", rel sponsored); show the disclosure. This GET never starts a website check (any website may read it with its visitors'' addresses): it uses our quick check and agent check of the domain from the last 5 minutes (result cache or curated status snapshot). Without one, assessment.level is "unknown" with needs_check true: run POST /api/v1/check (or the MCP tool check_website) first, then ask again. 120 requests per minute per client.'
