Is geo-blocking actually effective for privacy as a cam model?

I’m thinking about starting to cam on the side to pay off my student loans, but I am terrified of someone from my vanilla life finding out. I know most sites let you block your state or country. Does this actually work, or can people easily get around it with VPNs? I really don't want my boss or my creepy neighbor stumbling onto my stream.

Geo-blocking is a deterrent, not a firewall. It stops the casual browser from your hometown, but anyone with a basic VPN can bypass it in two seconds. If you are truly paranoid, wear a wig, change your makeup style, and never film in a recognizable room of your house.

I had a huge scare last year where a guy from my local gym found my profile despite me blocking my state. It turned out he was traveling for work and logged in from a hotel in another city. I panicked and spent hours reading through threads on https://chaturbate.pissedconsumer.com/review.html to see if this was a common glitch or user error. The consensus seems to be that while the platform's tools work technically, they can't account for users who move around or use proxies. Now I just assume anyone could see me and decide if I'm comfortable with that risk before hitting broadcast.
