I used to use an Iranian based VPN. Sanctions are almost always implemented by billing address, not by IP address. Geolocation services are crap when you start getting in to third world countries.

  Ok? I'm sure most e-commerce websites would scoff at the idea of having shoppers mail in a notarized copy of their passport before they can make a purchase.

    A passport generally doesn't even indicate where someone lives or has lived.

  For most businesses forced to comply, that seems like a feature, not a bug.
