The same here, my ISP is Opennet.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life.

Re: why doescmy computer think I am in Vietnam?
Annoys me a bit, I don't know why Opennet can't run a server here to assign Cambodian IP addresses. Doesn't bother me enough to set my VPN to operate all the time though.
Just a few sites every now and then assume I'm in Hanoi and spit out prices in Dong and ads in Vietnamese.

I've no problems logging into my Paypal account. When I tried to log into my Aussie web host to transfer out my domain last week, I couldn't log in, and they told me it was because I was "in Vietnam". I use my VPN mostly to access Australian TV but it comes in handy for other things occasionally.cptrelentless wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2017 1:11 amYeah, Vietnam is on the blacklist for Visa and Paypal.

The new cable from Singapore was meant to go on line this year, giving Cambodia it's own line for the first time. Frankly looking forward to it as they laid fibre optic out here (through the jungle) last year. Maybe some real speed coming?
