The problem arose shortly after 4pm on Thursday, when many users continued to access the platform, but were unable to play live videos because the error message appeared.
This is a message that is usually displayed to Vodafone users when they try to access a domain that has been blocked by operators by court order, as is the case with download websites , and only some users of the Orange and Pepephone operators could enter without using a VPN.
Twitch, for its part, announced that it would investigate what had happened, and hours later confirmed that the problem should be resolved, at least for the majority of users, as did many operators who indicated that the service had been restored.
The solution: Opera and VPN
This incident on Twitch could have its background in the costa rica business email database agreement reached by Spanish operators with the Government last April, which pursues download websites, that is, those that host content protected by copyright as " a protocol for the reinforcement of intellectual property rights" and which follows the line of the reform of the Intellectual Property Law of 2019, however until now there is no official position on the matter.
But if you're still having trouble accessing Twitch, Ibai Llanos himself offered the steps to follow so that users can access the service when it is fully available again: download the Opera browser, log in, and activate the VPN directly in the browser settings.
