Banned for using VPN to listen to a radio

@Grint

I didn’t realize there was a forum where I could possibly get help for this issue.

Umm, you posted here a year ago. So it’s strange you’re saying you didn’t realize this forum existed.

Hey. I am one of those accounts that has been inappropriately flagged by the antifraud system. I sent in a ticket and got the generic dismissal but it’s pretty clear there’s been no issue with my use from the beginning until now, is there nothing further that can be done? I used a VPN to listen to a radio station, of all things, and the next day I was flagged.

@Grint

I used a VPN to listen to an internet radio,

This is an assumption on your end. VPN in itself is not against the rules but if they see a consistent issue where it’s combined with other factors and it can get you flagged.

For you to even consider VPN as a problem means you have read about this and know using a VPN to appear in other countries can cause problems. But it sounds like you did it anyway. Either that or just are jumping to assumptions and your issue is something else.

@Grint

If possible I’d like this reversed

You should create a Rewards Support Ticket at https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001302431 so someone from Brave can look into things.
