What's the current method for buying DMM points? PayPal? Gift cards? Much appreciated if someone helps me with a detailed explanation, I already have a VPN set up.

Well, I'm sure the argument is that the service 'can be terminated at any time' and lacking the higher resolution vid for a couple weeks is hardly a pressing issue since they're shutting down (and ripping the stream is well... I assume in violation of the contract as well).
Saw two more films that seem to have been stealth downgraded. IESP-168 and IESP-174 - two of Hotaru Akane's 20 nakadashi vids. They should be 404 or 480p and I remember streaming them from the mobile app at similar resolutions just a month or two ago.
Current R18 downloads/stream limited to 240p. I guess that oughta teach me about procrastinating on backing up my purchases.
Well, I managed to get my files downloaded from my r18 library using a stream recorder. I wish I had discovered it a few years ago. I'd like to record and rebuild my video wall like on the R.18 library page. Does anyone know a good program for doing this? I'd like to be able to adjust it and input my saved video files to be able to be accessed from the wall. Any recommendations on programs to do this?
Why are some movies not available to purchase?
It gives me "Sorry! This content is not available in your region."

From what site? Did you try using a VPN and setting your country to the same location as the company you are getting the files from? I always used a VPN and would always put my location as Tokyo to get DMM/R18 files. It's too bad that R18 is shutting down tomorrow. They never really explained why they closed down.
So R18 just shut down completely. I was a member on there and had my favorite actress kawahara kanae movies on it. Almost all her titles and a couple others. My question is where could I purchase the newer movies? DMM doesn’t let me purchase bc they ask for province when I type in my debit card. Someone wanna help me?
You can add DMM points to your account with paypal to buy the movies, if your credit/debit card doesn't work with paypal you can use airtm to add funds that way. Needless to say use a VPN set to japan (I can recommend protonVPN, it's free). Make sure to backup all your purchases to your computer to avoid another R18 situation.
I was just signing up to dmm and looking for the points page through PayPal. It seems like they’re going to stop allowing this method for overseas card holders after may.
There really is not rest these days... goddamn it credit card companies.
For users outside of Japan, another option is to setup an account on Amazon.co.jp.
On Amazon.co.jp you can use most major credit cards to purchase DMM point gift cards, which you can then redeem on DMM. When you purchase the DMM gift card, you just insert your own email address so it will be electronically delivered to you, usually within 5min or so.
Note - you don't need a VPN for Amazon.co.jp, but you do need one for DMM if outside of Japan.

I tried this method but even with a VPN on, Amazon requested verification via japanese mobile phone. Has this happened to anyone else?
Where did they talk about that? I don't see where it is mentioned on the points page.
Is there a way of seeing expired purchases on Fanza? On my purchase history, I see only the items which I got on "indefinite time." But short-term rentals don't show up as having been purchased but are now expired. Is there a way for these to be displayed as well?
XCream keeps denying payments with this new 'chocom credit payment' system. I was able to purchase just fine before.
Hello,
Nice to see not much here has changed. Still prescribing one download host and everything. I'm hoping activity may not have dropped off enough that I can get some information since the only other English-speaking community I know of are strict pirates.
So I matured a bit and started buying JAVs over time. Usually stuff on sale but a good chunk of it are cheaper short movies from the "amateur" category. I made my purchases strictly with my legacy DMM account, which I never registered for Fanza or R18.
The region restriction was quite a shock, since another good chunk of my collection were genres that crossed over with fauxcest. I was even considering whether or not I should file a lawsuit. As things stand, I still have access to my entire library on the app. But I'm still wary of ever making a DMM purchase again in case it should un-grandfather my account in some way and cut me off. I'm terrified to even let it run an update.
My questions,
1) Has anyone in a situation like mine managed to view the full catalogue and made purchases with a VPN like ProtonVPN and accessed their account (and possibly restricted new purchases) on your non-JP IP without issues?
2) What kind of process is most reliable for purchasing points? I don't mind ordering physical cards.
3) Have any pirate groups offered to take over accounts and archive titles that aren't yet ripped? I would consider donating my account after removing the payment information rather than go through the tedium of archiving everything myself.
