    Default webcams.com region block not working?

    Hello,

    I recently signed up to webcams.com to try as a secondary site but their region block does not work at all?!? I have tried contacting their tech support but they claim it works fine even though I can see my profile from every single IP address form my country that I tried using. Their tech support basically stops responding to e-mails once their canned answers are spent, so I was wondering if there is any other girls who are having the same problem with webcams.com?

    Thanks for any information!

    I have never worked for webcams.com so these are just "educated guesses" ...
    Scenario 1: Some cam sites that have the option of geo-blocking, like MFC, will block the entire profile as well as the stream of the camgirl so people from blocked areas can't see anything of hers including the profile page and there is no way to access any of it (unless they have a proxy or whatever) ... BUT (at least in the case of MFC) if you have just been on your model account then sign out it sometimes recognizes your IP as being that model, so you will still be able to see your own profile until you clear your cache and cookies or exit the page... but you said you tried different IP addresses than your own to test it... so I am guessing what has happened is scenario 2.

    Scenario 2: Other sites, like SM (and probably webcams.com) will block members from the places you have geo-blocked from seeing that you are online from the homepage ONLY. All their geo-block affects is the homepage so they can't see you listed in the online/offline model list. It doesn't affect the profile though, so if someone happens to have your profile link and lives in the place you have geo-blocked, they will still be able to see your profile. In the case of SM (and again, maybe webcams too) if they have that profile link and you happen to be online they will also be able to see your live stream/buy shows/whatever.

    So yeah... all the sites seem to do geo-block a little differently, some more protective than others, but in your situation I'm just gonna go ahead and assume webcams.com's geo-block feature is set up similarly to SM's, at least to the point where you can still view profiles if you know the model's name/link, and that is why you can see your own.
