Re: Yet another site blocks PIA
I’m traveling in New Zealand and have had to turn off vpn several times to connect. Positive thing on trip is nearly every small shop and restaurant take Apple Pay. Our group needs to work on Kroger’s and Home Depot. Tom

I turned PIA off and had no problems accessing the site.
I am going to keep track of all the web sites that block PIA
Every VPN provider only has a finite number of exit IPs. Since many people doing scams use VPNs to hide their real identities, some sites have started blocking some of those IP numbers to protect themselves. I can usually get around this by connecting to another PIA node with a different exit IP and then trying to connect again. (It also wouldn’t hurt to purge your cookies.)

Re: Venom - first real question to the new listserve
I pay the gal that does my hair, I pay payroll to staff, I pay the gal that helps my wife around the house, I send money to my kids, my son-in-law if I owe him for half on an outing, the guy that trims the yard, my Landlord, the gal that cleaned the office, and on it goes...all done with ApplePay.?
The Fed does a transfer at 8:00, noon, & 3:00 pm. If I send money early in the morning it will be in their account ready to spend by 3:00 the same day. ?No cost to either party.?
If it’s an emergency the recipient can opt to have an instant transfer, I believe there is a $10.00 charge but if they are on the side of the road & need the money it’s worth it. ?Now, if the place will accept ApplePay then the money I’ve sent can be used instantly from their Cash card in their Apple wallet ??

Venmo has been repeatedly criticized for security breaches of user accounts and painfully slow customer service. ... After gaining access to a user's account, hackers can easily change passwords, linked email addresses and bank accounts unbeknownst to the legitimate user.
