Before the events, this VPN thing was for sure working on FTP and Titan Poker. Never tried it on PS.Originally Posted by lolzzz_321
Of course they can always blacklist the known public/commercial VPN IP addresses or run some detection of active OpenVPN processes on your machine via the poker client. But I am pretty sure there are ways around this, like using a private VPN server (can't be blacklisted) or preventing detection of the running OpenVPN processes on your machine.
I am in the Philippines now and I just connected to my account on PS through my VPN server in Belgium. It works and I didn't get any kind of warning message about running openVPN processes. Haven't yet tried registering into a Belgium or Benelux only tourney, because there is none open for registration at this time. Might give that a go later.
As far as I know, openVPN is transparent, so from the poker server viewpoint everything happens exactly as if the poker client was running on the openVPN server machine, wherever that machine is located. So in other words, only IP banning of public servers and poker client-side detection would be possible. Of course, if you start doing stupid sh*t like connecting without VPN from a US IP and the next minute connect through your VPN server in Europe, that is detectable from the Poker server side with appropriate routines. Then it would mean you would have traveled from the US to Europe in that one minute, or that you are sharing your account with some Euro guy...
