Comment on Anon experiences freedom
echodot@feddit.uk 6 days agoIt must be real inconvenient to have to turn on a VPN, it’s like a whole button that they have to click, Libs totally owned. Meanwhile the actual weird idiots that voted for this can barely operate a mouse and so they actually do have to suffer the consequences of their own decisions.

well yes it’s inconvenient to have to pay to pretend to be in another country to access a website

Then there’s “normal” websites that use cloudflare and blocks vpn access for no good reason (looking at you Home Depot and Lowe’s), or worse yet, they redirect you to a country-specific website based on the ip location.

Big box stores vary prices by regions. So no vpn makes sense.

That’s why they have the ability to lookup and select a store. I actually opened a help desk ticket with Home Depot and they did eventually fix it so vpn is allowed. Lowe’s I kinda just gave up by that point.

You mean like Reddit? Reddit folded to OpenAI btw. Open AI was co-founded by Elon Musk. You can just tell they are not on the good side of history.

Like a lot of websites. I also forgot to mention how Google has to verify you’re human because you’re on VPN.

Trump needs to add jailtime for using VPN’s.

Why another country? Just pick a neighboring state so you don’t get terrible latency.
And Proton VPN is free and is probably fast enough to get the job done. Or there’s Tor. You don’t necessarily have to pay.
