How to change your location and bypass the PSN ban on PS4 / PS5

Why do I need a Proxy for PS4/PS5?

The main restrictions arise just because of being in a certain country, and you need the proxy to change the location and unlock the Playstation Network. Then the system will think that you are accessing the network from another region, and will not block access for you. Also, a proxy will hide your IP address, provide reliable protection against hacks and malware, and speed up your Internet connection. Your console will work quickly, without interruptions and restrictions.

Conclusion

Now you know how to bypass blocking for PS4 and PS5 using a proxy server. But it is important to choose high-quality secure proxies for PSN. Only personal proxies will protect you from blocking and give you full opportunities to play games on Sony PlayStation. But free servers, on the contrary, can harm your console and account. Therefore, we do not recommend saving on a proxy server.
