How is it unusable?
Discussion
endless captchas, impossibility to create accounts or register for services, blocked accounts while on vpn, account freezings and requests for kyc. reduced content/functionality or refused service. newest addition, proof of residency for existing accounts that I accessed over vpn while traveling. Besides the captchas, I had none of this issues in the past years.
European websites are the worst... Basically none are accessible over VPN or Tor. They were already especially abusive with their cookies popup that didn't let you decline anything.
I think we're just going to have to rebuild the internet. I'm not giving up on Tor. I just won't give the abusers my attention or business.
Exactly, but sometimes things need to simply work, there is no time or will to search again for alternative for hours. Specially with family and sometimes with time constraints. I find myself more and more often already planning beforehand when to turn off the VPN for a couple of hours or for some devices, simply to avoid additional problems. And I really don't like it.
