Using a VPN for Flickr access

Why unblock Flickr with a VPN

Websites are typically blocked by denying access based on the user’s IP address. When you connect to the internet from a university, library, coffee shop, or your office, you’re assigned the general IP address of the local network, which may come with restrictions.

NordVPN will help you with that. Connecting to a VPN server hides your IP address and allows you to bypass restrictions on the content you want, including Flickr. A VPN also reroutes all your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel, keeping your data packets away from prying eyes.

Why can’t I access Flickr?

Although many companies use Flickr for work, others discourage their employees from accessing the photo service during work hours. Most universities also frown upon students and staff using Flickr instead of studying or working. The end result is that many organizations simply block Flickr access.
