depends on geo-ip location, i guess - so guys on vsat seem to be in europe.
just a thought - a socks proxy on an ssh tunnel to a machine in usa or europe would circumvent their ip location tests - so mebbe we should get together, we all share a virtual private server in the usa, which we tunnel into when we need to check our paypals ;) <evil grin>

@ paul: how did you circumvent their "no sending money to kenyan account holders" restriction?

You can send and recieve money, buy and sell stuff on the net using
paypal
as long as the site and/or services in use support it. If you selling something on ebay
or recieving cash from one fo your relas abroad, so long as they are able to use paypal, it's as easy as abc..... Been doing for the last year and a half....
