As many of you are aware, Bangladesh recently experienced an extensive internet blackout due to the Quata Reform Protest. The government shut down cellular and Wi-Fi networks for five days, and when they restored Wi-Fi, the connection was extremely slow (a 14 MB file took 4 hours to download). Today, on day 10, mobile cellular services have been restored, but social media access is restricted, and download/upload speeds remain very slow.
Given these challenges, many Bangladeshi freelancers have resorted to using VPNs to access social media, and to download and upload files on Fiverr. I wanted to discuss whether using VPNs in this context could cause any issues with our Fiverr accounts.
Here are a few points for discussion:
Account Security: Does using a VPN raise any security flags on Fiverr, possibly leading to account suspension or other issues?
Location Mismatch: Could Fiverr’s system detect the VPN use as a location mismatch, and if so, what are the potential consequences?
Best Practices: What are some best practices for using VPNs to ensure our Fiverr accounts remain secure and compliant with Fiverr’s policies?
I’m looking forward to hearing from those who have experience or knowledge about this. Your insights will be greatly appreciated, especially during these challenging times.
