TheBlackoutGuy.com is a participant in affiliate programs with Surfshark, NordVPN and other companies. This means that when you click on a link to a VPN/Smart DNS service on this site and make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Why I use affiliate links #
I’ve been helping people bypass MLB.TV blackouts since 2009. Running this site — testing VPN services across multiple devices, keeping up with MLB.TV’s changes each season, and writing detailed guides — takes real time and effort. Affiliate commissions are what make it possible for me to keep doing this without cluttering the site with ads.
Does this affect my recommendations? #
No. I only recommend services I have personally tested and verified to work with MLB.TV. If a VPN stops working or a better option comes along, I update my recommendations regardless of commission rates. I also recommend methods that don’t generate revenue for me. Honest information and solutions are my goal.
If a product I recommend has a particularly good deal or trial offer, I’ll mention it — but I will never recommend a service just because it pays a higher commission.
