how ebay and other online shopping sites bypass you VPN
 

:welcome;Anybody have any idea about this? recently Amazon detected that I was using a VPN and blocked my 3 rd account. That was very irritating as I was using it for last 6 months. I searched on this matter and found a solution for this.
How do they detect that we are using a VPN?:humble:
Well, this is a fair question. don't blow up your mind thinking about this. Most online sites always give extra attention to the customers IP address.

Suppose I am using a VPN and masked my real IP and use a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ IP from any other country. what websites do is , they have automated scripts running and track the geographical location of my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ IP and then fetch the local time of my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ location. They will then compare this 'time' with the time they fetched from our computer. Suppose the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ location I am using is having a local time 6pm and my actual time is 5 am. they can easily conclude that we are running behind a VPN. all these is possible due to a flaw in a service called WEB rtc of your internet browser.
Bypassing VPN leak
we can easily prevent this problem just by stopping the WEB RTC of our browser. :typing:Just google their exits many plugins to deactivate WEB rtc plugins for chrome and mozila. (I personaly dont use ****ty IE :deadhorse:)

Its not that you are using a VPN that they have an issue with

Its the type of VPN that you are using and what their IP range is.

Anyone can work out if your using a VPN by just looking at the hostname

Which company are you using for your VPN?

You have to be careful, there are some very abused VPN sites out there. Honestly, if you ran a account for 6 months on a VPN that has had issues with sellers before i am surprised the account lasted that long. Look into a never used IP, it is worth the cost and you can get back to business and not have to keep starting over.:surrender:

@BoZZr, and avoid free overused VPN services

Re: how ebay and other online shopping sites bypass you VPN
 

They will always know if you're using a vpn. the only way is to stay under the radar and not trigger a review on your account.
