    Wow that’s bullshit. A freaking sports mafia has the power to cripple the internet.

      That’s ridiculous. If they’re having piracy issues, that means they need to improve their service. Make watching the game easier than pirating it, and people won’t pirate it.

      Here are some ideas:

      • have an online free tier, and allow ad-blockers (discourage them if you like, but don’t stop the stream)
      • provide paid addons that people might want, like player stats, player labels, etc
      • provide discounts on merch for people who pay to watch the game online or live
      • provide a reasonably priced ad-free tier, like €5/month or something, and make these available internationally

      In short, make it so easy to get content and so attractive to pay for upgrades and nobody will want to pirate.

    Solution:

    Use a VPS somewhere that will act as a proxy to your home server.

    Connect the VPS to your home with wireguard/tailscale and do reverse proxy to your game server.

    Now the public IP will be your VPS. Host it in an other close by country.

    Of the IP does get flagged, change the VPS provider and keep the exact same setup.
