Because they don’t allow VPNs and for some weird reason, they consider it cheating. Got banned once, but that was during a time I got in with a VPN. For some reason, my steam ID wasn’t banned. But more of me and my IP in combination. Back then, I could just switch origin IP. Now its jot really possible and quite annoying ^^;
Hmm… All I can think of is doing this and borrowing a neighboring towns internet. Like a blackbox xD which doesn’t sound legal.
Doing in within my own network, would not change my IP. Doing it within a family members network… Well I don’t want to share their IP either :P
Or do you mean like one of those free website hosting providers?
I use MullvadVPN and i have never encountered this issue before. Hopefully won’t need to either.
I’ll tell you another weird detail I found out today… A lot if my coworkers had their uBlock terminated by the chrome browser. I use Ubuntu with chromium because reasons and somehow, my uBlock is still active and working o.o it has not been terminated and I still get rid of those nasty YouTube ads.
Not only USA, but Chains and “Great” Britain as well. You saw how they magaged to get access to all encrypted data stored on Apple’s servers within UK.
The politicians in power in Sweden, currently, explicitly said no to chat control 2.0 during the election process. They get voted… And now they pushed it into the EU and are supporting it. Terrible.
Ooh, one more thing. Reddit has two different blocks. One is this network security one. This is client side and therefore, uBlock can bypass it with ease. There’s another one reddit has, but its server side and it shows up if malicious activity have exited from the same public IP your VPN is originating from. So simply changing your ‘origin’ is a solution in this case. However, the latter type of block is much more rare
Here’s a way to bypass it with uBlock Origin https://cybernotes.xyz/osint/Social_Media_Bypasses.html#reddit---network-security-block-bypass
I have an old email from when I was like 7 and signed up on a range of different gaming websites.
Now however, I use proton mail. They even own SimpleLogin, so all I do it generate hundreds of email aliases. No website know my actual email address and each mail received to these aliases, are forwarded to my actual proton mail account. Using Keepass or another password manager of choice, is a wise idea so you don’t have to remember all these accounts. Simple! Both secure, and private as it would be difficult to identify each account to an identity
Since Pavel Durov; the CEO of Telegram got arrested, I just instinctly have avoided telegram all together. I actually stopped two years before he got arrested as I just simply felt uneasy with the app. No encryption by default. Using obfuscation rather than encryption. But that’s just my opinion. Jumped over to signal and feeling much happier
True… Just observe the YouTube ads…
