    Default SM Geoblock -- but I can still see myself...

    Ok, so I have SM geoblock (for Alaska only). To my understanding, when you have geoblock on, only guys who are logged in can see your room.

    I was not logged in to any SM customer account at all and I was able to see myself live... I saw myself on http://www.pornhublive.com/cam/MYNAMEHERE --- how is this possible?

    It is possible because geo-blocking DOES NOT work! There is no secret on the world wide wide.

    So then why would SM give us this option?

    Yep, what Marina said. Geo block only works for Streamate.com itself. You will still be shown on most white label sites.

    SM gives us many things but that doesn't mean we have to participate or suffer fools.

    I thought SM wasn't allowed to livestream you on white label sites -- at least make the customers log in first.

    Did you read the contract you signed? They're allowed to do pretty much whatever they want once you sign that and start streaming.

    It say it right here: "Geographic blocking will remove you from the sort and searches of non-logged in members. Additionally, any advertising or additional exposure of your profile will also be disabled. If you restrict ANY geographic location (not just your own) - you will not be available in the site search results or similar models for logged out users and members in the restricted area."

    Am I mistaken in believing when I read "any additional exposure of your profile will also be disabled." ??

    I believe that is just for advertising...meaning your cam feed won't appear in pop ups on other affiliate sites. As far as white labels and the way they code their pages, you will still appear to anyone accessing that site...logged in or not. Maybe send an email to support asking for the exact details. I've never seen the point in trying to block certain areas...because once you put yourself out there on the world Wide Web then you're out there for everyone anyway.

    Have you just done it? I'm sure I've read it takes hours/days to kick in.

    It took three days for mine to kick in once,just so you know. SM is so big, it's sorta one of the glitches that comes with the territory that sometimes changes to geo block, profiles,names, etc.. are put in place slower than we'd like.

    Ok, just so you know, I tried looking for myself on the site you listed and nothing came up. I'm sure it's either a glitch or a time thing. Or maybe you're way hotter than me and they'd rather feature you Try not to worry too much, it's fixable.

    I just looked for myself not logged in , my profile is still not coming up. Maybe it has to do with wether or not you opted out of third party marketing, because I know I am opted out as well as blocked in one state

    I emailed SM support. He/she said that "anyone with the direct link can view you (even if NOT logged in)" and that this is a loophole.

    If this is a huge problem for you, camming might not be an option.

    Second this, Idk what your situation is, but if you have to work from home, there are more options besides camming. You can try phone sex and just use content pictures. Also lots of vanilla work you can do too, just look up online forums for work from home jobs and go from there.

    If anything, if this is a huge issue for you it might wind up causing you not to do well on cam as you could be doing due to nerves, stress ect.

    A workaround might be to geoblock yourself, THEN ask for a profile name change. That way, if you are trying to avoid a specific person from viewing you who already knows your direct profile link, the link won't work anymore after a name change. Then they also wouldn't be able to find you by happenstance if they were browsing the site.

    This is extremely frustrating though, because SM should ideally be able to block people based on the location of the IP address. So if I have a state blocked, no one from that state should be able to view me on my direct profile link regardless of them being logged in or not. Other sites are able to do this, why not Streamate?
