      Warnings

      • If choosing VPN or VPS, VPS would be safest of the two to use.
      • Be weary of phishing emails coming from PayPal claiming your account is limited. These are fake emails and should be avoided at all cost.
      • If you can't get another IP address, you can use Virtual Private Networks (VPN) or Virtual Private Server (VPS)
