Why do you need a VPN to get on Hive? I havent seen any banning.

As for fiat, yes that is a challenge but flipping to one of the main coins can get one to coinbase. That is a bit of a hassle though.

VPN to buy hive as there are hardly any CEX that have it still

I am not sure that will get around things. If they find out, they will close the account, including the money in it. Also, I am not sure they cant trace it. Blocktrades mentioned that it was a foolish move.

Coinbase still works.

then use changenow? or something like that? no direct fiat-> #hive route anymore?
