The IP filter is only for onboarding, I hope so, right?
I basically always have my VPN on, regardless of where I am and what am I doing.

Ecency is great, and I have never had problems with the connection, but some other apps (even dapps, like harvest finance) block VPN IPs which make sit very very uncomfortable, specially when using P2P tools. So, hope it keeps working with VPN.

I get it why it is important to block VPNs and possible botnets that may abuse the account creation, I am just sharing how and why I use VPNs.
