I would like to know is it safe to use the binance account through VPN ? The main reason for asking is that since VPN changes locations ( IP of different countires), binance may find it suspicious that one day you are login from one country and other day from another country.
Since they keep track of of our location, will it have any affect on your account ?

Also anyone can share his / her experience of using binance on VPN ?

Since twitter is accessible in my country currently only with the use of VPN, whenever i turn on my VPN to use twitter, i notice that after i turn it back off and try to check the market on my binance app, my account has been automatically logged out. To view my portfolio, i'm usually required to log in again. I don't know if any other person experiences this.

You have to check on your reason for wanting to use VPN on binance, am from a country that the government aren't in a friendly relationship with crypto-currency but still I don't have a problem using binance without VPN. We all should know that VPN is mostly use to change the location IP of it users and many times it is suspicious to some app when the user uses VPN.
So if you aren't ban in your country from using binance and you are a legit user of the application then I don't think you should be scared of using binance without the use of VPN. But further more I haven't used the app with VPN so I don't know if it's safe to use.

One simple answer: no, but Binance does not explicitly state that they don't want your money. It's just that you can't access the site if you're from the US or other countries wherein Binance is banned. I know a few people who access Binance using a VPN and haven't got their accounts locked, although of course there is always that risk of getting your account suspended since it is already within their terms. To play it safe, I would use Binance in a one and done basis, afterwards I would not look back ever again.

It is highly risky to use Binance through VPN when you know how they react for small issues like depositing via gambling sites. They freeze your funds until you assure them that you will not do that again. With VPN, locations change as you said, Binance may ask you to go for further KYC process (if not completed before) or may suspend your account for suspicious activity due to their strict anti-money-laundering policy and adherence.

Indeed some countries don't support accessing binance.org, for some reason I'm not sure. However, Binance in my country provides a domain that they have customized and is accessible where I live. Not much different only the ends that they change. This aims to provide access for us which is restricted by the government. But by using an application that you can download, it looks like you no longer need to use a VPN. Have you used the Binance App?

I dont have any experience about VPN on using Binance but did make out some search and find out something which is before Binance US.
https://www.reddit.com/r/binance/comments/kk08uw/us_vpn_i_messed_up/

They did really make use of VPN and been found out then had violated the terms which caused problems.
For now i dont see any restrictions.

Just don't do it.

If you don't want to have an headache with your account, just don't use any vpn while accessing your binance account.

You've already answered your question that they can do that and it will definitely affect your account.

Well I don't know if this is right but I think it should be using VPN on Binance.
Just don't do it, you will face a problem once you used VPN on Binance. I saw many articles the same on this problem, they have been fucked up because their fund is stuck on exchange. Just read the terms on Binance, they strictly prohibited using VPN.
If you are moving into other countries which you cant access from the country where you created your account on Binance, I suggest accessing your account remotely using the TeamViewer app and asking your relatives or close to you about the device that you will use, a PC much better.

You can use a VPN but you should make sure to connect only on dedicated IPs because if they found that you are logging in to different countries or become suspicious you will be under their AML policy. They will take some other verification if you are the owner of that account both SMS and 2FA would be needed until you need to submit another selfie verification.

And I believe the Binance is not only detecting IPs they also trying to detect your PC or device through WebRTC and local time. So if your current IP is not matched to your local time and info that they get from WebRTC then they will detect you as suspicious.

So I would suggest being very careful about using VPN, if you want to be safe using them always disable your WebRTC and change your local time every time you use VPN. Use this tool below to help you find any leak from your device.

This actually wouldn't be your only problem. What if there are thousands of other people who are using the same VPN with the same IP (because that's what ends up happening with these services), and some of them end up also using Binance to login? Imagine that you're Binance and you see that there are now a couple hundred accounts that were used with the same IP... This may lead to some flag being issued to your account

Don't take just my word for it, just read upon the reports[1][2][3][4] on Reddit about users that got their account frozen. Most of the reports have to due with US citizens trying to access Binance.com because they thought that using VPN wasn't against the terms of service or that Binance wouldn't notice that activity. Having your funds in a centralized entity is already a not very wise choice due to the very little control that you have over them, you don't want to give them any kind of reasons/doubt to lock you out of your funds and start a gruesomeness and slowly support process to have it (un)frozen - or even start the process at all.

I reckon, however, that are some users here on bitcointalk that have been using Binance with a VPN and never had a problem. You can find these examples here (Note:hugeblack seems to have a DEDICATED IP VPN):
I do believe that if you have setup all additional security measures (2FA for example) it may eventually tune down their "radar" regarding the use of VPN accounts - after all, whenever a friend of mine logs into Binance he's asked to enter a code sent to his phone, to his e-mail and his 2FA - but one never knows what will happen, particullary when we're dealing with "robots".

Be very careful when using a VPN, especially if you use a financial wallet such as a Binance Wallet or Marketplace and so on. it is better if you are forced to use a vpn then use a secure vpn and use strong security such as passwords that are difficult to detect, the security of the second verification code and so on. after you finish using binance make sure you disable the VPN to keep it safe.

I thought you wanted to use VPN because of security.

As per my experience with Binance, you can uses VPN because as far as I know, there's no written about in their in TOS. And I'm just a regular trader so I'm not exceeding their threshold so maybe that's why they allowed me. But what if you trade with huge amount of money? Maybe it can raise red flag on your account and worst comes to worst, they might freeze your bitcoin, just saying.

I am using SurfShark VPN for about 4 month now and its work fine to open any site including Binance because in my country itself some internet service provider banned binance.com because regullation issue

and it safe but usually you will be logout if you changing IP frequently but its complete fine

Using binance account through VPN is absolutely safe I have tried it for years before and my account was not blocked nor my assets blocked, if you are afraid of changing countries via VPN you can simply choose a specific country and install VPN on this option and it will not change country every time.
But the main problem now remains the problem of verification by KYC, if you are from a restricted country you can bypass the ban through VPN but you can never bypass KYC because Binance will not accept your identification documents if you are from one of the banned countries.

Why would you want to be using a VPN? Is it because Binance is restricted in your country or something? I avoided binance.us and used a VPN to trade/exchange on binance.com. I had been doing it for months, and never had any problem. They never locked my account even if I logged in from a new IP. Not sure if it was because I had 2fa and email security enabled. But it's useless now. Verification is now mandatory on Binance.com.

In that case, it's not actually risky to use VPN. I guess TOR will also work the same. I'm not sure how things are with binance but nonverified users can't do anything with their accounts but only withdraw

If you are verified anyway there is no point in using VPN after all binance account is linked to 2fa and google authentication which you as a registered user has to put the code in order to login.

I am not using VPN on Binance but I think it is only safe if you are using Binance from a country where it is legally allowed to operate. If you are using VPN because you are restricted from using the products and availing the services of Binance, then I don't think it is safe or even allowed.

You can still take the risk but don't be sorry if in the near future Binance will flag your account due to violations of its terms. If I'm in a position where I am not allowed to use Binance because of my location, I'd rather look for another exchange than insist on using it with a VPN.

Am sure if he ask is because of a valid reason not because he has something to hide, it is quite simple, your country didn't stop the use of such platform yet even though your government is not crypto friendly, but other countries aren't that lucky, using a vpn does not necessarily mean someone has committed a crime, if there is a need for it I don't see why not, the op can pay for a static vpn to always access Binance that way the ip won't charge constantly.  :-\

Binance is not ban in my country and i can use it easily but since i have VPN installed in my machine and sometimes if VPN is connected and i open binance too, then i was asking if there could be an issue ?


It will be highly appreciated if you can quote the reference from binance where they say that they will ban the account and freeze the funds if we use the VPN. I need it in black n white documented form.

I wouldn't try it.  If you have an account on the original binance you would know they collect your ID and verify your country in order to upgrade your account.   So they already know the country you live in and would probably flag you as suspicious for trying to circumvent the regional security.

As long as your account is KYC-verified, that shouldn't be much of a problem since they have your data.

I use VPNs for other purposes and I have mistakenly logged in to Binance once while I was connected to my VPN. There wasn't a problem since I am not located in a country where Binance is not allowed to operate and the VPN also didn't provide me with an IP from a restricted jurisdiction. Still, I wouldn't suggest you do that.

If you have already used your account from your real IP in the past, it makes little sense to switch to a VPN now.
If you want to resume trading on that exchange or you are registering a new account, you have to undergo KYC. They will know who you are and where you are from, so it again make no sense to hide your real location.

I think it's okay as long as u use safe and paid VPN.
There will be no free VPN service, if the VPN is free then you paid with with your "information".
So make sure you are using premium VPN with already famous name, tested safe, and high reputation.
Binance is also banned in my country network, i always use VPN to access it and it's safe until now.

Using free vpn for accessing your binance account can be risky because of the constantly changing IP addresses and all. But you can purchase residential proxies at a cheap price from the various marketplaces on the web that will grant you a dedicated IP address which will be better since binance will be knowing your single IP and that won't pose any threat to your account as well.
Or the other best option is to purchase a VPN and always use single location while accessing your binance account.

If you are worried about using VPN which i will be because i do not take risk when it comes to my finances, why not purchase a dedicated IP address and start using them, there are many service providers who provide dedicated IP but right now Binance is asking everyone to verify and even if you purchase a dedicated IP how you are going to overcome that.

If you have a solution for verification then go for dedicated IP.

I've never done it, but there's a thing you should keep in mind: Binance's new KYC policy. If your account is fairly old, you can still withdraw your coins without providing an ID in limited batches per day. But to do any trading for any sum of money or to buy anything there, you're now required to pass a verification process. I was helping out a friend recently with the procedure, and you need your selfie, passport, as well as passing visual verification on your smartphone. I don't really know why you'd want to use a VPN after doing all that, but yeah, maybe you can.

I also frequently access Binance using a VPN, and I had no issues with it, everything went fine. It is highly recommended to use a paid premium VPN, because free VPNs have very poor security, there is a possibility of hacking the Binance account that we use if we use a free VPN. Actually it would be
better if we access with a real IP if we are from a country that is not banned by Binance. However, there are some factors that force us to use a VPN
to access Binance, and it will be safe as long as we use a premium VPN. So it's better for us to spend money to be able to use a premium VPN,
rather than forcing to use a free VPN, but risk being hacked.

First, you must fully understand how Binance detects suspicious activity. And it may not be just a VPN. Check your browser at https://browserleaks.com/. Read what a browser fingerprint is. If all your parameters correspond to the country for which you want to pass yourself off, the exchange will not be able to convict you of anything.
There are many parameters for which there may be reasons for blocking in the future, so just one use of VPN will most likely display other red flags.

Don’t think this is going to be a good idea, and why are you trying to do such a thing, is it that binance.com is banned in your country? If that’s the case maybe you should try another exchange, but if you still insist then it is up to you to do what you think is right for you.

Maybe in the case of the VPN changing countries every time you try to use it, there are some VPN that doesn't change countries except you set it in random, you can decide to just set it in one particular country and it will maintain just that location every time you are making use of it until whenever you decide to change it. I have used a VPN before and the name is Orbot (but I didn’t use it for Binance), it worked well for me inmaintaining just the country I select whenever I am logged in. I just hope that they don’t realize that you’re making use of VPN and block your account while you have money in it.

I haven't been using VPN for Binance but seems a few users using that and doesn't face any issue at all.

But please read the terms & conditions of Binance. They might detect suspicious activity and have the right to suspend your account. When you are using a centralized exchange with strict rules, then you should avoid suspicious activities since funds are under the control of the exchange. I wouldn't be taking risks with my funds this way.

I've never used a VPN accessing Binance but if this is fine on your end, I would still not advise it for others to try it. I guess that's the counterpart of using a VPN.
It has to make your account logout due to not recognizing the IP you've used upon accessing. It seems that there's no harm in doing and using so but it's still your concern OP if you'll give it a try or not.

My experience is that every time i try to Log in from different gadgets my older log in expires and i need to re log in if using that same gadget,
have not try opening twitter in same gadgets with my binance account but it's good that you mentioned that so i will try it now.
+1 to this , because as long as you can prove your identity to them there will never be an issue even if you are literally chancing countries .

Binance Anti-fraud system reacts for frequent changes of your IP

In such moments, the system can mark you as a suspicious user, which can lead to partial blocking with a demand of face recognition

Hell it's not, first, your VPN provider can monitor your traffic and even if the traffic is encrypted they can decrypt the traffic and get access to your account and your cookies, also if you are using VPN to change your location and pretend to be in another country for Binance it's again a bad idea because Binance can use many algorithms to track you and detect any VPN user. For example, if there is an IP address used by multiple people in multiple accounts Binance can freeze your account and ask you to send them more evidence and documents of your identity, and this way you will get your assets in danger for no reason.

I am a verified (KYC) user of Binance. Most of the time I like to use a VPN on my desktop. So most of the time I long into my Binance account from another country and have not yet faced any issue with Bianance. My suggestion for you is, Try to use a paid VPN. Because free VPN is not so safe. If you want to stay safe then a paid VPN is good. I am using CyberGhost VPN for my daily use.
However, So far my experience is good with Binance and VPN.

I'm also a VPN user before and I can say its safe to use this on Binance  but to make proper things out regarding on what OP ask is he should ask this question directly since Binance agents are active and for use he will get the best answer on this questions. I

Also paid VPN is quite advisable since anyone could put something harmful on free VPN so its better to pay a little bit for our safety and choose the paid one which can save us from any possible hackings from phising sites.

Ask yourself why do you use VPN? It breaks the restrictions imposed by the government, company, organization or your service provider to access the site that you wish to access.
You and the site both can communicate with each other without problems, but there is a part in the middle that prevents this.
If this is your problem, you can use dedicated VPN that give you IP address that cannot be used on any other platform.
If you are trying to bypass the terms of use of Binance the account will be closed sooner or later, so do not use it.

If you can't access Binance otherwise then you should have in mind two things before start to use the VPN which are as follow:

1.You should be verified as it is mandatory right now and you should see that green near your name in the Binance website indicating you are verified
2. You should always connect via the same country in order to not leave them any space to abuse your account,for our smartphones there is the program called FreeVPN both for iOS and Android which has the icon of a white unicorn and it lets you connect always from the same country if you like to.

If you implement the two above things then I think there is no problem using a VPN with Binance.

Conclusion:-
I have read different comments and feedback on this and come to conclusion that it is not safe to use VPN with binance specially in case when you can access it directly. Although there may be no issue in doing so but why take risk and add ourself in suspicious user category. In cases like binance is ban in our country, then we may try login using VPN but that too with limited funds on the exchange.
