Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically (www.techradar.com)

Too bad they block VPNs

I use proton for VPN and qobuz works for me! I've had a couple of other bugs but streaming and downloading both work!

I use Proton as well but it won't even let me sign up and explicitly says it's because of the VPN.

I use Surfshark and don't have problems with it 99% of the time. I think you probably just have to have the VPN off for signing up and logging in (I've noticed zero issues when I'm already logged in).

Still a pain :( they’re too afraid we’ll use regional pricing?

That's so strange. I've been using qobuz for at least a couple years now and I've always got a VPN on. Sometimes it takes me a second to load a new song if it's not downloaded already but other than I've had no issues. Are you on PC?
