Yes it was. It needed to be connected somehow to make the purchase.

Wow breathtaking!

Do any VPN providers cover this?

When you’ve done everything that’s reasonable, and no one in power listens, so have to become unreasonable. And people say, why can’t you just be reasonable?! 😕

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if both apps and webpages have access to the phone date/time for logs and to time stamp purchases etc. And Amazon use that to decide you’re not in the place your VPN is telling them.

Apparently each book is a different story in the same universe (same races, tech, war, political systems etc). So can be read in any order. I was told to start with book 2 as it’s a better introduction. But I enjoyed book 1 anyway. Was exactly what I was in the mood for.

Wait … how do you have the native app on iOS?! Is there a TestFlight link you could share?

Just finished Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks. Was looking for an epic space opera and it didn’t disappoint. I’d describe the story as “very good” but the world building as “outstanding”.

This is book 1 of the Culture series. Apparently book 2 is one of the best. Just about to start and can’t wait.

Absolutely love Murderbot! A big fan.

Thanks. Still happened with location services disabled phone-wide.

Cheers, thanks for the very helpful info.

We paid for Nord quite a while ago with some special deal. I haven’t heard great things about them since though so might be time to ditch and pay for something better. I’ve heard Proton is good as well.
