Wait, you mean to tell me that the other were not open world? I only played Paradise, and it is my favorite racing game precisely because of the open world. I always wanted to try the other ones, thinking that the open world was what defined the series, but now I’m not sure I would like the other games. To each their own ig.

Agreed, my current “vpn” doesn’t even support a virtual private network. I have to setup two different VPNs, one for proxying my requests and one for actual VPN stuff.

If the VPNs are blockable and detectable just like that, they don’t really serve as good VPNs, no? Buy some cheap VPS and setup some state of the art thing like x-ray/vless - surely that would solve the problem.
