[kwlug-disc] Problems in Paradise

So, as many of you may recall, I recently started using voip.ms for one of
my cell numbers.  On Friday, I started getting courtesy emails stating that
my account balance had fallen below the warning level that I had set
previously.  So I logged in to add to my available funds.

But the website wouldn't let me add funds.  Why?  Because I was using a
VPN.  Outrageous, says I.  So I opened a ticket with Support, and they
confirmed that you can't use a VPN on parts of their site.

What genius came up with that idea?  I have sent Support a couple of emails
using my Grandma's Special Words to express my displeasure.  They insist
that I can't use a VPN.

Would they prefer it if I did my banking naked, perhaps?  Or send them
pictures of my credit card over unsecured connections?

Yes, I am a trifle miffed at the moment...
