WHY IS NIGERIA IP BLOCKED FROM ACCESSING PDPROXY SERVERS


Do you have problem with your pdproxy account? While many of my clients are complaining I took upon myself to do some search and I find out that some Nigeria clients have been using the pdproxy to send scam mail and carry out some nefarious actions under the auspices of proxy and VPN provided by this company. It wifree my heart for my Nigeria clients anyway but the esteady below was got from their official forum.

We will no longer support users from Nigeria.

Question: Why?

Because the ratio of legit users versus spammers who just uses

our service to send spam/scam mails is very high.

8 of our servers are already taken offline because of those

spammers.

You might have noticed that I am not always around here at

the forum in the past few days because our time and energy is

being wasted in tracking and verifying accounts of suspected

spammers instead of monitoring our servers and making our

service better.

Our PayPal account was terminated because we received too

many chargebacks and disputes coming from hacked PayPal

and Credit card accounts used by users from... yes its Nigeria.

Question: Can I still use my account?

We are already blocking Nigerian IPs on our Demo server so

that means demo users can no longer use our service.

If you have a premium account and you are still not getting the

"bandwidth limit reached" error then good for you because it

means that you can still use your account. Just don't let

anyone use your account or computer specially if it is your

friend who loves to spam.

If you are getting the "bandwidth limit reached" error then you

need to look for a new vpn provider. We will no longer restore

your account no matter what you do.

Question: Can I still upgrade my account?

Yes, you can still upgrade your account but if you have a

spammer friend then it is likely that your account will also be

terminated with no refunds. I RECOMMEND TO NOT UPGRADE

YOUR ACCOUNT ANYMORE IF YOU ARE FROM NIGERIA.

Question: Why don't you just block those users found

spamming?

That is actually what we are doing. We are checking thousands

of accounts everyday. If we found a spammer then we

automatically suspend that account. And if that user uses your

computer then that means that you know the spammer and

you are probably spamming too so it is only logical to also

suspend your account. Verifying thousands of accounts is very

time consuming that is why we no longer want to support

users from Nigeria so we can focus more on making our

service better.

Question: Why don't you just block all of Nigerian IPs?

Because adding IPs on the firewall just adds more load to the

server. Besides we still have some Nigerian users who are not

using our service to spam.

Question: So what is the real point of this post?

This post is made to deter all Nigerian users from using our

service. If you still want to use our service then you need to

know the risks. If your account was linked to your spammer

friend although you are not spamming then your account will

be terminated also and we will not restore your account

anymore.

Question: I am not a spammer but I really want to use your

VPN, what should I do?

Do not risk your money in upgrading your account since it is

likely to be suspended anyway. So take my advice find a new

vpn provider. There are many VPN providers out there so

please move on.

I will keep you posted when there is solution though some accounts are still up and running.
