Title: Different way to get around proxy bans?
Post by: pit2525 on December 29, 2017, 11:20:10 AM
I've encountered a proxy ban during my signup. I wonder if there is any better process to remove the proxy ban? It's kind of unrealistic (resp. expensive in these days) to fix this via a payment of Bitcoin.

Any ideas?

Well, you've obviously registered this account so you know how to get around it don't you? Not all VPNS are banned, only ones which have a history of previous abuse. Any free ones have a high chance of being banned.

Yeah, removed the email address from the other account (changed it to something I don't care) and signed up with my mobile.

Just wondered because it makes definitely sense, to check against fraud but for real users it should be easy to unban oneself.

Therefore the forum must have keep on issue about the volume of everyday registered and sign up with others encounter this message that you have proxy ban and needed a small fee like anti bot and stop prevailing in order sign up of people make scam or hoax after registered.

Well, the bitcoin payment exists for that specific reason..

Anyway, I don't think it would be difficult to have a easy cost-less workaround like looking for a public wifi on a restaurant, hotel, or something, and register the account there instead.
