I'm in Europe, it's not blocked for me

Seems blocked outside of the EU.

Doesn't seem to work in Europe, but works in a VPN

Guessing it's blocking non-US users - couldn't get to it from Australia. VPN works fine, though.

Depends on region. It's blocked in Europe for instance.

mszcz Jan 25, 2017 View on HN

Same here. What's up with the country restrictions?

S4M Apr 7, 2016 View on HN

Same here. Maybe it's just enabled for US IPs or something.

Might be a geo thing, I had no issue in US
