- You Pay Provider Directly: All fees paid DIRECTLY to provider via their payment system - Money goes to Netflix, Disney, DStv, etc. - NOT to AETERNUS.
- VPN Also Direct: NordVPN paid DIRECTLY to NordVPN via /go/vpn → nordvpn.com checkout - NOT to us - Affiliate commission only.

4. DEVICE COMPATIBILITY - GOOGLE / HUAWEI / APPLE - DIRECT TO OFFICIAL SITES
📱 WORKS ON ALL PHONES - GOOGLE ANDROID / HUAWEI HMS / APPLE iPHONE
Every tile is direct https:// link to official website - Opens new browser tab - Not forced app install:
- How it works: data-link="https://www.plex.tv" → window.open → New tab with official site → User registers there directly - Pays provider directly.
- Google Android (Samsung, Xiaomi): Chrome → Official site → Register → Works → Play Store button if wants app.
- Huawei (No Google - HMS / AppGallery): Huawei Browser → Official site → Works as website even without GMS - Plex, Tubi, Kanopy, SABC+, eVOD, YouTube all work - App via AppGallery or Petal Search or browser version - No GMS dependency - Site still opens.

5. REGION AVAILABILITY & VPN - SAFE WORDING FOR STORES - COMPLIANT
🌍 REGION AVAILABILITY - VPN INFORMATION - STORE COMPLIANT WORDING
Safe wording for Google Play / Apple App Store / Huawei AppGallery:
- Some providers may restrict content by region per their own terms: As you saw with Fandango At Home screenshot "Streaming on Fandango is not available in your region" - Same may apply to HBO Max (Max), Pluto TV US feed, Plex US, Roku US, Hulu.
- Provider Terms: Each provider has own Terms of Use regarding region availability - Users should check and comply with provider's terms - e.g., netflix.com/TermsOfUse, max.com/terms, etc.
- VPN Information: VPN services like NordVPN are legal tools that may help users access content that is legally available to them in other regions, depending on provider terms - VPN can provide privacy, security, and may help with region availability where provider allows it - Users are responsible for complying with provider terms when using VPN - AETERNUS does not encourage violation of any provider's terms.
- How AETERNUS Handles Region: We show "🔒 Region may restrict - Check provider terms" for providers that may be region-limited - We show "✅ Available" for providers that work in your current detected IP location - We detect IP via /api/ip to show status, not to bypass.
- NordVPN App Requirement - As per your voice note: Buying NordVPN via our banner (/go/vpn 68% OFF) does NOT auto-activate inside AETERNUS - You MUST download NordVPN app separately: Play Store / App Store / AppGallery / nordvpn.com → Open app → Login → Connect to country where content is available per provider terms → Then click REFRESH IP CHECK in AETERNUS → Banner turns GREEN "VPN: ACTIVE".
- Why separate app? AETERNUS cannot control device IP - Only system-wide VPN app can change IP - Our site only DETECTS IP and shows status - Does NOT provide VPN tunnel - We are IP detector + guide, not VPN provider - As you correctly noted "It's not gonna work shelf through the app".
Affiliate Disclosure for Stores: NordVPN link is affiliate - We earn commission if you buy via /go/vpn - This helps keep AETERNUS free - Link hidden via /go/vpn 302 redirect to avoid popup blockers - Final Nord page may show ?source=aff which is Nord's own tracking - Disclosed here for store compliance.
