Buying on Audiogon

Yup, I have to disable my VPN to make purchases here.  Perhaps Audiogon needs some software updates?

Wow, you need to disable your VPN to make an Audiogon purchase.  That’s really inconvenient, how often does that happen...twice, three times a year?

What are you talking about??

@ebm ,
I believe they are using VPN's- Virtual Private Networks in order to shield their IP addresses.
Something I should do also, perhaps they can provide a good VPN company, but I digress...

I know that Audiogon has a protocol that uses IP addresses in order to screen potential misuse. For the longest time, when I used my laptop instead of my desktop, I had my account blocked, until I completed a confirmation of my identity.
This probably makes sense, especially when purchasing equipment, as Audiogon will have a trail to follow in case something goes wrong.
