ONN just quietly changed their error message from "Unsupported Region" to "Unsupported Region or VPN Detected" — meaning commercial VPNs are now being flagged and blocked during device setup.
In this video, I put it to the test live: I try setting up my ONN device with a commercial VPN active to see if it actually gets blocked, break down WHY this is happening (hint: it's about ad revenue, not piracy), and show you what still works if you get stuck on this error.
