      You still need to considers the costs of accepting said users though, even if you don’t likes it being done in such manners.

      Just think of anti-fraud measures which denying VPNs are apart of. If you are a small firm and you need to protect your business aren’t you inclined to do the same exact measures and tell your FraudLabsPro to ignore/caution against VPN orders?

          Precisely I don’t think (as of now anyways) there a mean to “filters” VPN users effectively or otherwise general spam and such than to “cut the entire line off”.

          Take the Wasp and Hornet spray that we had to apply on our porch. It is depressing that a bee had to die? Absolutely but we had to spray or else we would be “spammed” by wasps and hornets that could damage our rental.

          Sometimes you have to take the “nuclear option” until more targeted solutions can be developed.

              But that is WHY they are filtering VPNs to be honest. Because as I been saying it just not worth it to keep VPN users online when the BULK of the spammers are using the same.

              Even when you go out and buy something you probably gonna be asked to turn off your VPN or your order won’t be processed/requires additional steps. I know majority of hosting providers do at least.
