You can use an addon/extension to change User Agent to Google Bot when visiting dmm. No need for VPN.
Wow, I can't believe that actually works, you've just made scraping data off it simpler and faster, thanks.
Edit: Hmm, it does seem to prevent interacting with the popup though which is a problem on the digital section of the site, I think it uses a different block on it since I can access it even with a normal user agent so VPN still for that one.

You may get "div" element with id="welcome" that blocks clicking. It is possible to remove this invisible div in developer tools.
The methods that I used to access dmm:
- Changing User-Agent to googlebot
- Removing "cklg" cookie
That is very good to know, this does solve my problem. Pretty annoying if you want to browse though since you have to hide it for every page, but not an issue for automation or just looking up one page.
I messed around with changing ckcy to 1 instead of 2 a bit since I saw another solution using that, but I never managed to make it usable since it gets reset after every refresh and I failed at intercepting it with a proxy for a couple of hours and gave up since it wasn't worth the trouble. removing the whole cookie in the browser with the dev tools doesn't seem to produce a different result either.
Is that still a thing you do and if so, I'd be curious how you do it, even if I don't seem to need it.
Every browser with which I try to visit a normal JAV page, I can't click anything in the window. Touchscreen doesn't work. All I can do is cycle through things with tag and click with the enter key.
Is there some bug with a new popup ad that's masking everything? Or have they finally locked out all non-JP users?

It seems like DMM TV works with the above method, by changing the user agent + VPN. I was previously getting barred from acessing it even when using VPN only. Well, at least for browsing it's working. However, even if I have points, I can't exchange them for gravure items, I get an error basically saying that the item is not available in my area when I try to exchange.
Question is, how does it know what my area is, if I'm using VPN with a japanese server and spoofing the user agent? I checked my DMM profile my address is not specified, so I wonder how the site knows that I'm not in Japan.

I also tried an add-on named Locale Switch, which lets the user change the browser's "locale", and I still get the area error. I guess you might be on to something, Sam. I might try altering those later to test again.
I subscribe to the monthly premium on FANZA/DMM. Anyone else having trouble playing any videos today? I get an error for every movie I try to stream. Seems like its site wide but wondering if its me. I use a VPN.
I don't have monthly premium on FANZA/DMM, but I did note a very strange anomaly in my DMM library.
There are some titles that I can see and purchase using VPN (I have to use VPN to view/purchase or my cart shows duplicates and won't process) that once in my library, I cannot view or download (IT give me strange error message for view/download) unless I disconnect my VPN. I discovered this by accident. Even stranger, if I disconnect VPN and view my library, certain titles will now show up and certain will hide.
Try disconnecting your VPN once you login to FANZA/DMM premium and viewing those same titles that give you error message without the VPN connection.
Nevermind, had to disable VPN.

Did anyone recently experience being denied to log in to dmm? I had an account for a long time and I could log in without any problems in the past. I checked today and whether I use english or japanese version of the ui and whether I use vpn or not, I get a meesage like that:

Wow, they're even restricting user accounts now? Lately I noted that DMM has been blocking a lot of VPN users who try to bypass geo-blocking, which has killed the ability to stream titles. Has anyone else been blocked?
So far I've been able to backup my titles by using the Patreon version of Jav-It, in conjunction with the local *.DCV file decrypt feature. Seems like they don't really interfere with downloading, so it's a lot easier to just download the encrypted title and decode it locally.
Edit: Some VPNs I've heard being reported as being blocked were Nord VPN, and Express VPN. Some smaller VPNS seem to kinda work, but it seems like all the big players are being geo-banned, even if you set your endpoint to Japan.

Lately, streaming speeds have been ass on DMM for me, anyone else have this particular problem? Just checked with speedtest and my bandwidth is 400 Mbps for DLs. I wonder if they are throttling non-JP IPs.
EDIT: As of today, it seems that non-JP IPs cannot even view the digital video section. Yup, it appears that the geo-block is in full effect.

Mine too, starting today. I plan to use Surfshark VPN. Hope it works.
