What if you hit it via some VPN service?

I can reach them through a VPN, no problem at all to communicate with people outside of Brazil or with those connected through a VPN.

OT: Intrigued and tempted by ivpn.net but the about page don't give me enough info to decide (no team, no physical address...) Where can I read more?

Whois has provider name, business address and telephone.[0] They say:[1]

> VPN was founded in 2009 by a group of information security professionals who met whilst doing their Msc in Information Security at Royal Holloway, University Of London.

I've never researched that, but I've worked with them for years, and it's consistent with my experience. They're good people, I believe.

Somehow I assumed you worked for ivpn, based on your profile. My bad! Thanks for the info anyway.
