Would be great if the VPN providers had a content unlocking tier.

Sad part is majority of vpns are being bought by the same company

kgothatso@8333.mobi 2y ago

Which company is this? And you got any links on these acquisitions to know what VPNs to avoid?

Get a dedicated IP from your VPN provider

Enki 2y ago

Need to see if mullvad does that.

sommerfeld 2y ago

Might as well run your own vpn from a paid VPS if you are willing to have an anon set of 1...

Enki 2y ago

Yeah I was listening to Michael Bazzell talk about that today. He said he uses 2 main vpns. One with a dedicated IP to get to his bank (and I guess other blocked things) and a "normal" vpn for everything else.

Does he have a podcast?

Yup!

Nice idea!

Enki 2y ago

yeah I know a dedicated IP is not the best option but it still keeps a site that you're visiting from knowing your actual home IP.

Dunno but the sad truth is that services have no way of telling the abusers from honest users using a VPN

sommerfeld 2y ago

Part of the value proposition of using a VPN is precisely sharing an IP with other people.

Cameri🐦‍🔥 2y ago

Their value is zero if they allow abuse to go thru too

True

Which would be 🤔

Which vpns (or from which specific endpoints)? Do you happen to maintain a public list?

Ya damn right

Cameri🐦‍🔥 2y ago

Try changing your location to other countries and see if you can still access. It may not be a total VPN ban but an IP address ban?

Varies

It may just work

🤣, my iPhone comes with private relay as standard

That with vpn = 🔥

As a social service (dating) developer i encounter bots and scammer problems more and more, especially in recent years. My team is also considering all kinds of kyc-ish approaches, services that detect vpns, prevention of anonymous emails, etc. I don't like it one bit. But what do you think should one do? A awrvice can become unusable real fast if nothing is done to curate the users...?
