Takealot blocking VPNs?

yup they are....

I tried a VPN and set my location to Brazil. I can surf around TakeAlot and see all their products, but as soon as I select that product it gives me :

Oops!

The man's point still stands.. no one at an ISP is sitting there actively looking at people's browsing history.. moreover, they would at best have a protocol level break down of your internet usage and IF you use the ISP DNS server, then they might know which websites you are using, but again, only if they go looking for it, and that only happens if there's a legal request for the information..

Ok. Thanks for that.

It would be hilarious if my browsing was monitored. Im sure unless you like colors a lot, my browsing is very boring. At least I give the FBI agents and AI listening to me some good music.

Im sorry you thought that. Didint even cross my mind. Anyone browsing cp thinking that a VPN will protect them from that is going to learn some very important lessons.

Hey, I'm not the one using VPNs to hide things... You know, just saying.
 
Set your VPN to SA then it should work fine.

They are blocking based on origin, for whatever reason, maybe under the illusion of security.

Ive tried two different South African servers. Though they not great servers, they are well known public exit nodes, so amongst the first to get removed.

Can’t you just split tunnel the traffic off the VPN?

Yeah I can, but not ideal. Now takealot can adjust the pricing knowing who I am (if it wants to do that, and if not them, then other vendors). Also, not enjoying my ISP knowing what I browse, when and at what times. Im going to have to resort to split tunneling, but not my ideal solution :/

Your VPN must be showing up on some kind of blacklist, probably for shared IP and someone else doing kak.

Takealot works fine on Cloudflare for me.

Yeah, its Mullvad, they very popular, their IP is well known. I had to move to duckduckgo because every google search looks like this:

On this topic, anyone known of a VPN provider that providers quality VPN tools like censorship resistance and quantum resistance, split tunneling and a private IP? I dont mind paying more for my own IP.
