I respect your (123's) opinion on the matter. VPNs work for him. All the power to him.
My opinion on the matter is that VPNs are too risky. Like some folks asked - how do you know you got a reputable VPN service? And how can you be certain that youre not being fed a recycled IP address - like one of the thousands of addresses '123' himself used? The bottom line is theres no way to be certain cause they wont offer you that information before selling you the IP address.
To me that implies added risk as a result of the possibility of getting an IP address that was already used.
Not to mention the fact that certain admins on this very forum have stated theyre able to 'see' when someone is using a VPN. If they can then ebay and paypal certainly can.
I prefer reduced risk so I go with other methods.
Tethering, Mi Fi, Modem resetting - are all viable options that will cost less than a VPN service and are les risky - again - in MY opinion.
If you don't mind the added risk then a VPN is an option.
That's MY opinion on it and I don't care to hear what people's 'opinion' of my 'opinion' is. You can disagree with MY opinion and voice your own but be respectful of mine as well please.
| Actually I do have a way of 'ensuring' that the VPN IP address is indeed FRESH before I use it, so I'm not adding any risk. If your curious how, can send me a pm and I'll explain.
But yeah to sum it up, if a guy who graduates from Harvard decides he wants to jump into a volcano to see how hot it is. When he dies, are you going to say oh look Harvard is horrible, this guy was a dummy? Obviously not, because Harvard is not at fault, and you can't blame someone's bad decision on them. That's the same way you should think about a VPN, VPN's work AMAZING for ebay/paypal, dont blame people getting limited on ebay while using VPNs, its not the VPN's fault that people choose to use bad VPN providers and dont do their research. Its that simple. |
