    Default spybot blocking an application

    Hello Spybot memebers,

    I wanted to watch Netflix in a other country so I opened Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN.
    But spybot is blocking it, how can I unblock this program from spybot?

    Are you subscribed to NetFlix?

    From various sites on the net.

    "Programming on Netflix varies from region to region because of how TV shows and movies are licensed. Organizations that own the rights to different TV shows and movies license the rights by geography, so Netflix has to acquire rights on a territory-by-territory basis. For this reason, what’s available in the U.S. isn’t always the same as what’s available in other countries, and vice-versa."

    Netflix clamps down on attempts to dodge its regional restrictions (updated)

    Hey Tashi,

    Thanks for your reply.
    My VPN still needs to work. It does not matter if I want to use it for Netfilx or something else.
    I'd really like to know how I can add PIA to the white list so that PIA won't be blocked again by spybot.

    Kind regards,
    Nesoor

    Hi nesoor,

    Did you download Spybot recently, perhaps turning on the proxy option?

    Also which version of Spybot do you have please: http://www.safer-networking.org/shop/

    Hey Tashi,

    I am Using Spybot Home Edition.
    I have enabled Internet Protection: Import proxy settings from Internet Explorer.
    Is that the right option?

    Also Spybot shows a weird message when I open Photoshop CC.

    Could you disable or edit the proxy and see if that resolves at least one issue.
