12. So what do VPNs with blacklisted IPs do then?

And how long does it take to rehabilitate an IP, or is it forever tarnished?

I use Surfshark and there are plenty of occasions where a host won't serve me, so I know it's an issue. But what do the VPNs do to counter, to maintain their business?

It's a cointoss with the streaming services. Hulu definitely does not let me use one; Netflix and Prime are inconsistent. In fact, was watching Prime awhile ago, and when I finished one show, then got a message saying to turn off the VPN.
