It’s very annoying when your favorite websites block your country for one or many reasons. And some websites have limited bandwidth for some countries. They block it by finding where the IP address you come from. You can check your external IP address by going to this website.
You can bypass your IP address by using a proxy. With a proxy you can access a website indirectly. So the website you visit will not recognize your real IP address. So your connection will not be blocked or filtered.
Proxy address sample format is like this: 123.123.123.123:12345
