🚫 Why can't I use VPN with my Binance account? 🚫
Binance has very strict security policies to protect its users and comply with international regulations. When you use a VPN, your IP address changes and it may appear that you are accessing your account from a country different from your residence. This raises a security alert for Binance for several reasons:
🔸Fraud detection: Constantly changing location is a common pattern in account theft. Binance interprets it as possible fraudulent activity and, to protect your funds, blocks access🔒
🔸Regulatory compliance: Cryptocurrency laws vary greatly from country to country. By using a VPN, you could be circumventing the regulations of your country or other countries where Binance does not operate, putting you in a legal risk situation⚖️
🔸Security risk: Some VPNs are not secure. Using them could expose your personal and financial information to phishing risks or cyberattacks. Binance prefers that you connect from a secure and reliable network⚠️
What happens if you use your Binance account with a VPN?
As you likely experienced, your account will most likely be blocked. This block is not to punish you, but to protect your assets.
To recover your account, you will generally need to:
🔸Confirm your identity.
🔸Provide proof of residence.
Explain why you were using a VPN.
🔸This process can be long and frustrating, so it's best to avoid it!
The security of your cryptocurrencies comes first!
