Without VPN, I’ve been unable to view online the Unity Script Reference / Manual / Unity Answers (and maybe some other parts of the web too) for 4-5 months because every time I try to access it, it blocks me and shows this message:
Unity Technologies, as an entity incorporated in the US, is subject to restrictions placed by the US Departments of Commerce, State and Treasury, which means that some of the content on this website is not available for you to access.
You can, however, still download Unity Personal, the free edition of the Unity editor.
If I click more the button (see the attached image) “More Information”, I’m redirected to Sanctions Programs and Country Information | Office of Foreign Assets Control which has a list of countries with Active Sanction Programs for the US.
The problem is that I’m connecting from none of those countries
At the beginning of this I checked services online to geo-localise my IP, and some do it well and some place me wrongly in Iran (which is on the US list). It seems my ISP bought IP ranges that were previously Iranian, but nowadays every service I check is geo-locating me correctly, but Unity page is banning me though.
I’d like to contact with Unity to make them aware of this, so they can update their IP info or get in touch with the service they use and correct it.
Hi, I have the same issue, any advice?
I spent weeks emailing back and forth with Unity folks to end up saying it was my ISP’s fault.
I’m don’t think the ISP can do anything to be honest, in my case it was a question of Unity using databases out of date.
So when I got that error I’ve ended just breathing 3 times and connecting the VPN. Sorry

Yeah I also thought that was the issue.
