Paypal and Google DNS
 

I have a good ip I intend to use to create and access a paypal account but the dns is a google dns (the DNS appears as belgium), would the dns cause any problems for my paypal account? does paypal pay any attention to the dns?

Has anyone used a dns in a different location to access their Paypal? did it trigger any warnings?

Any suggestions?

I have used Canadian IP to access US Paypal and vice versa. I have also used Canadian IP to access my UK paypals.

BUT this is all AFTER setup and some use

As Rsot indicated above, your IP/host config are CRITICAL upon setup. After which, it really doesn't matter much which IP you use so as long as they are clean, not shared with other accounts, and you have your cookies intact.

I travel a lot and use my US PayPal's overseas even without VPN, particularly in SE Asia, never had any issues.

Thanks for replying but in this case, I access my paypal with a UK IP but the dns is a Belgium dns, the USA and Canada are a bit close so maybe that's why it didn't give any problems but a UK IP and Belgium DNS, wouldn't that cause some problems?

Would appreciate some more advice.

Nothing to worry about. I work with google DNS in Belgium and sometimes Netherlands while my IP is in Germany or the UK. Works like a charm.

Google Public DNS uses a multi-level cache structure, and amz and ebay/pp can only identify the locations where google originates queries to authoritative name servers. And as I have read somewhere uncached queries are sent to their data center Brussels - thus you get Belgium as DNS location.
