+# Geo-blocking
+
+Sometimes providers block streams from being played in certain countries or regions.
+
+To avoid confusing these links with broken ones, we mark them with the label `Geo-blocked`:
+
+```m3u
+#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="ExampleTV.us@SD",Example TV (720p) [Geo-blocked]
+https://example.com/playlist.m3u8
+```
+
+The easiest way to make sure the stream works outside your country is to use services like [check-host.net](https://check-host.net/check-http) or a [VPN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network).
