Ask HN: Do you still shop at Newegg now that they have blocked VPN?
I found myself moving back to shop at Amazon after Newegg went out of their way to block ExpressVPN and Nord. I have too many people using VPN at my office to disable it, even temporarily. Do you guys know any other solutions?

- ian0 3y agoNot the OP, but perhaps because they live in a country where the gov blocks lots of useful websites, or they want to see public broadcast material (Eg pbs/bbc) from other countries, or because their ISP sells barely anonymised data to 3rd parts in bulk and on the cheap.
