Aluvia

“Not available in your region” on a cloud VM

This page as markdown: https://aluvia.io/unblock/geo-restricted.md

The site says not available in your region, or we do not ship to your location, because cloud Chrome is still the datacenter country. Change the IP location to the country the page needs.

Fix

sh
npx aluvia-cli setup
aluvia geos
aluvia proxy-on --geo US

Replace US with the country the page needs; aluvia geos lists what is available. Then reload the page.

What the page says

Any of these is a string the page showed:

Why it happens

The usual reader is Grok Bot or cloud Chrome on a VM in the wrong country. The site says not available in your region when it is reading that datacenter. That country's prices, catalog, and language follow the host, not the operator.

Checkout copy is often we do not ship to your location, written on the page as We don't ship to your location. Cloud Chrome in the wrong country is enough for the shop to refuse the cart. It is not a way around a content licence: leave streaming and live video alone.

What those commands do

npx aluvia-cli setup aims the existing Chrome at a local proxy. aluvia proxy-on sends every tab through a residential or mobile IP. Neither command restarts the browser after that first setup.

The not-available page is served while the client is the VM's datacenter IP, before the country catalog loads, which is why these commands exist.

If it is still blocked

One exit IP can be blocked on its own. Get a different one and reload again.

sh
aluvia rotate-ip

When this is the wrong tool

Leave streaming and live video alone. Country only — not city, not GPS, not timezone, not Accept-Language. A normal login wall is also the wrong target.

The use case

The same IP-location change, written as a use case rather than as error quotes, is /geo. When Grok Bot is on a US machine and the miss is UK or EU prices or catalog, /geo/grok-bot walks that case. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes.
