As we all know, music from other countries are blocked on Spotify because it depends on the music provider which country are they gonna release their music so using of VPN will help to access blocked music, but VPN seems to not work on Festify while it does on Spotify. I hope I can hear about this soon. Thank you!

Yes it does, but it won't work on Festify

Alright. Can you provide me with more detail somehow? Like what is failing exactly and why? A network debugger screenshot would also help greatly.

I don't know and I have no idea. What I did is use the Hola extension on Chrome and changed country to Hong Kong, it worked on Spotify - it showed the songs of the artist (AKB48) I was looking for. After doing the same process on Festify, the whole discography of the artist won't still appear on the search bar.

This is an old issue, but I think this is because we're using the user account's country to filter search results, independent of the actual location. This is something that we can improve in the future by detecting the user's country.
