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?
