Question about streaming US TV shows from overseas

Ever since I moved to Taiwan a couple years ago, I have been relying on a paid VPN service (StrongVPN) to access geographically protected programming from the US (Netflix, Hulu, various networks). This has been working fine for me.

But this week, I noticed that I am no longer able to access programming from CBS, even through the VPN. I get the message that the videos are not available in my geographic region. I can still access Netflix and Hulu without problems.

Has CBS figured out how to close the VPN loophole? This has me worried that I may soon lose access to everything else. Anyone know anything about this?
