Right? I've had an order confirmed and then silently canceled simply because I was using a VPN!
It’s because their business model on the backend relies heavily on them being able to fingerprint their customers. I kind of understand why they would do it… From their perspective, they don’t know who the hell I am. If I was on the analyst side of things and I saw a bunch of shady activity with a dude using a VPN, trying to sign into my banking account, that’s going to raise every suspicious red flag in the world. Ordinary customers aren’t going to use a VPN, let alone know what one is, and when you keep adding measures to conceal your identity, you become indistinguishable from a threat actor.
