This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

For the annoyance, you could just use some open source firewall like opnsense to create a site to site to your VPN provider and route anything destined for your shady services through it.

Yes I do use opnsense and it was more annoying than control d. I tried both options.

I see. IMO the opnsense method is good because it's set and forget, works across all devices without needing to touch them

I mean so is control d a set and forget. Even more so because they manage any changes and workarounds the companies come up with. Its basically designed for this. Having tried both options its my preferred option.
