Oh, btw, I've recently stumbled upon a VPN-service -- officially registered in country thousands of miles across the ocean from America, not even in Europe. That VPN was pretending to be about privacy and blablabla. The usual. Even offering static ips and port-forwarding (which is rare) and accepting BTC. But the coolest thing was how easy it was to just see through and know who they were: simple check of its IP and the associated ASN lead directly to this captcha-company name. Not to say that was a surprise - an amusement, more like - at how they put every little tentacle they can afford to use out there, to reach everybody, and especially the ones trying to avoid them.
So you keep it up. Waste the money. Even it's not yours, but taxpayers' money (which isn't unlikely). All in vain. And for what purpose? What goal? Who knows. Does it matter for us to try and guess if it ain't going to work?
- _lvbh 3y agoCloudflare is operating a VPN service without using its name? Are you sure it’s not someone else forwarding their traffic through Cloudflare (as common with many v2ray providers)
- usrbinenv 3y agoPretty sure, because the static ip-addresses were offered only for the servers located in very specific countries and particular locations - namely in the US & Canada. And, "coincidentally", that's were the ip-address of their website was. In addition, they were very adamant about advertising how a static-ip address would relieve you, the customer, of the pains of captchas and thus be whitelisted.
