Posted: 13:05 - 01 Feb 2019 Post subject: VPN blocked by Paypal |
|
|
I was informed that my VPN will not use Paypal for subscription.
Something about vpn non-compliance with paypal's rules.
I posted this in the Storage thread in error.

You pay for a VPN?
But yes, buying stuff through PayPal means the service conforms to their purchase platform, clearly dodgy so doesn't comply.
Who even uses VPNs now. |

To a VPN, no VPN.
Maybe I do things less illegal these days... but I still don't VPN anywhere. I lie, the last time I used a VPN was to buy credit on a Turkish Xbox store because the game was £9 rather than £59 but that was a totally free VPN fired through a Pi.
I'll rephrase.... why pay for a VPN? |

Where I work 'normal' access to various sites is blocked. Access from ISPs in KSA, Kazakhstan & etc. Private ISP and through 'the work's ISP.
A VPN provides free access.
I Pay for a VPN because any of the 'free' VPNs I tried simply do not work well or were blocked (or I didn't really trust much more than a stranger's touch) from where I was accessing the net.
I access t' Internet from home in UK too but not through a VPN.
The ISP I pay doesn't block much.
I am sure that ISPs figure that they are being accessed from virtual IPs I just do not understand enough about the magic of t' Internet to say how they can tell or what they can do to block VPNs.
I did think that they could throttle the speed down or some other jigery pokery.
I also know some cnuts are making a coin from the hole of t' Internet and not actually peddling the pump with everyone else. But C'est la vie. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

A lot of plugins didn't work on the Xbox for some reason, I use it on my PC but did use it on my Fire TV stick before. Plugins were a bit all over the place for a while but there's a new version of Exodus (the old one was brilliant) which seems good.
However I've gone back to using Popcorn Time to steal stuff as the downloads are quick and I can take films round to a mates house etc..
Also no VPN needed for any of it |
