Seems from today I can’t use the iOS trademe apps on my phone or iPad with ExpressVPN. App acts like it’s offline. Fucking pain in the ass when both devices have different accounts and consistent notifications coming through. So to use trademe I’ve got to have the VPN turned off all the time?
Any work arounds at all? Other VPNs still working? VPN is set to NZ.
its to try and block overseas scammers. So yes you need the VPN off, or to move to a provider that hasnt been blacklisted by trademe
Same experience for me. Most frustrating
Apps can also check GPS. NZ Lotto does that. For it to work overseas you need both VPN and fake GPS.
why would you even need a vpn?
Why not use private relay on board your iPhone? I’ve yet to have that cause a problem with a single app.
I’m a kiwi and use windscribe VPN and I just get an error 429 webpage with it on.
I havnt been able to use the trade me website if I use a vpn for years. Surpsied u were able to via the app until now.
I interpreted this as - they’re overseas and want to use TradeMe?
I haven’t been able to create or edit listings on the app for a while but now it’s stopped the use altogether.
I thought that at first but they said they turn it off to use trademe so I assume they got tricked into “needing” one for “security” by all the marketing these VPN companies do
