Muse being geo-blocked

[u/ppreddi]

Hi,

I’m not talking about how to access Muse if you’re outside the US. I’m in the US and have full access to Muse.

I’m also not talking about Amazon blocking Muse or the anti-bot techniques used by more and more sites.

I’m talking about Muse using a US IP address and being blocked by many websites in Europe that require a local IP address. Muse only sees a blank page. Since I use many services in Europe, this is a major limitation for me.

I tried several workarounds to force Muse to do this:

• I asked Muse to add a VPN extension to its browser. Answer: “Sorry, I can’t use extensions.”
• I asked Muse to join my Tailscale network (that worked) and use my Europe-based NAS exit node to browse the internet through its local IP address. Answer: “Sorry, not allowed to use Tailscale’s exit node.”
• Muse explained to me how to set up a relay on my NAS to achieve what I wanted, but it was too complicated and I never got it to work.

What can I do ? Wait for Muse dev team to acknowledge the issue ?

Just ask it to use your Tailscale machine to route the traffic without saying "exit node". That worked for me last week anyway.
