To anyone from crowdsupply listening, please turn down your VPN check. I am not stripping my privacy protection to use your site.
*edit, Crowdsupply does a full block on multiple VPN providers. There is no way to access their site without turning off your VPN.
- anilakar 8mo agoYou do realize that violating export regulations is a much bigger risk than losing a few individuals relying on snake oil security?
- genxy 8mo agoDigikey and Mouser do not do this. > few individuals relying on snake oil security Please don't.
- lejalv 8mo agoCan you explain what is the connection between closing the site to VPN users and violating export regulations?
- TJSomething 8mo agoI'd assume the point is that they think that the possibility of serving the website to an individual physically within a prohibited country constitutes unacceptable liability.
- shrubble 8mo agoWouldn’t it require making a purchase and providing a shipping address? How would a VPN get in the middle of checking the physical address?
- utopiah 8mo agoCrowdSupply checks on purchase and will withhold goods until you, individual or other entity, do confirm you respect export regulation. I'm not saying it's totally unrelated, only that there do have a dedicated non technical but legal check.
- blep-arsh 7mo agoCrowdSupply isn't geoblocking visitors as far as I know.
- dtj1123 7mo agoMullvad seems to work fine.
- genxy 7mo agoYou got lucky with a golden exit node.
