    There are ways to ban them even if it evades detection though. Incompatible formatting and mobile applications come to mind. Charleston in South Carolina having the highest concentration of diehard privacy maintainers goes over nobody’s head, having it come up as one’s location is like wearing a label that says “I am not who I appear to be” and is the source of the most common geoblock in the free world. Probably a giveaway I help keep the peace in a few sites.

      Isn’t that just a game of whack a mole though? Ban VPNs ending in Charleston, people hop to another location. Rinse and repeat

        The right metaphor would be popping a pimple. Apply pressure and the oil just scatters and becomes aimless. They represent a powerhouse.
