Anybody know why if my VPN was on, my Square mobile account would restrict my access right before I have to accept card payments at the effin’ farmers market? If I hadn’t saved my password in a special place, I would have lost hella sales that day. It has never restricted me in 15 years, but the VPN being on was the only thing that was different.

Sounds like they might be getting tighter with their compliance and surveillance. I know someone who just had their Square merchant account canceled and they weren’t even told why. Hate to say it because I use their products and we all know who the founder is, but I’m losing trust in that company.

Alot of companies are blocking VPNs becuse it hides data they hand over to the government, aka, their owner.

Started about 4mo ago.

We need more "illegal" bitcoin businesses.

Wow this is sad, and completely criminal. Fucking government strangling every small business

Quite sure no informed person would use surveillance coins for that type of business.

In fact, the coin being censured this year from major exchanges was Monero, they even hunted the volunteer websites that helped to buy it physically outside exchanges.

In the meanwhile, your boomer coin is not only supported by US government as Blackrock has "business" on it.

You're just a casino player, we are not the same.

Best VPNs? Currently using NORD, but switching to Proton in a couple months to consolidate costs.

Try cryptostorm

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give them a look.

They've required location and specific IP for awhile.

YouTube has started blocking me from seeing videos unless I log in or turn of VPN. Sad!

Same

I expect such trashy acts from DoucheTube, just not Square. Oddly, I can watch YT videos & TV with my VPN on. That is why I cannot understand Square. Irritating AF!!!

Are you signed out when you do it?

Same for me.

Ceasing to be good for its primary use however is part its demise, so I’m kind-of not sad about it.

This works for me also with VPN.
