Hey!
Im thinking of buying a VPN and am going to use my Raspberry Pi to connect to it and transmit the VPN connection via wifi. Is there a way to block Paypal and other sites that might block my account while using a VPN? Maybe through the hosts file I should add [url]http://paypal.com[/url] ?
Paypal dont allow VPNs and im scared Il forget im on my VPN and pay for something while on the VPN.
Thanks!
Guess you could just edit your HOTS file and add the following:
[QUOTE]127.0.0.1 domain.tld[/QUOTE]
(Obviously change domain.tld to paypal.com etc. etc.)
That'll just route any DNS lookups for paypal.com to 127.0.0.1 (Local IP address for your PC) and therefore block any connections.
Would you not be able to block websites with the VPN? I'd imagine you'd have that level of control over it especially if it's paid.
Don't really see how paypal is gonna know you're on a vpn.
How much control do you have over the server running the vpn?

They know the IP ranges of most common VPNs.
Absolutely no control what so ever lol. Paypal would know because they know I live in the UK and not Switzerland which I asume they would know by doing a IP check which I would hope and assume is routine.
