They most likely have blocked the specific VPN IP address you’re routing though. Try changing the VPN IP address.

I used to live in the DC metro area before I moved to south Florida so I know the area well. Made arrangements originally for Sunday evening with him but an hour before so he cancelled asking to reschedule for tomorrow. I accommodated the ask. The next day I met him as agreed. He matched his description and photos but I would not repeat. Was not engaging and the interaction felt more like interacting with a corpse. We did not even meet for the full hour (was back in the car after dressing and paying him after 45 min). Despite that, he tried to charge me 150 more than we agreed to.

For me, it has been the advent of AI. Being able to look at large volumes of data in different ways has been very helpful. In addition using it to challenge ideas/assumptions has been useful. AI while it can hallucinate has been a helpful tool to make me consider things I might not have otherwise considered. It has become a tool that I can use to ideate and to explore topics.

I happened to be back in DC for work and saw him while he was here. Had a great time. Very friendly and accommodating. We chatted via WhatsApp and worked out for him to stop by. Would see him again.

When you disable the VPN, what happens? Your phone is likely using a different Norton VPN endpoint. You should be able to have your VPN select a different IP address. If it works when you disable the VPN, my guess is the desktop is using an address that other Norton users did bad things on and you're taking the hit for it. Rotating the IP address should fix it.

Are you using some sort of VPN or proxy? Does this happen when you use a different browser? Different device? Have you tired clearing your cookies?

And we’re done.

OK. Enough. Back on topic. Any topics not directly related to the provider directly will be removed and timeouts issued. This will be the only warning. If you're not sure if the response is appropriate, it most likely is not and should be avoided.

Not true. I know the owner personally and know he is more interested in selling his two bars to move to Colombia full time. He’s not looking to make major changes at this time other than a potential exit strategy if it makes sense.

Saw him in FLL a little over a year ago. Really sweet guy and I enjoyed my time with him.

I know he’s reading this thread. He’s about to get himself put in ANOTHER pinned thread that will get ranked on Google.

Ultimately the question becomes how is the attacker gaining access to the account in the first place. If you change email addresses for example and your phone is compromised… the attacker will simply follow the chain and access the new account. For that email account, what are the various ways you access it? Are each of those ways secure? (No malware on your computer/phone etc) Do you have a way to enable more secure ways of accessing email such as two factor authentication or client certificates? That way even if they have your password they would need access to a trusted device to access the account.

What’s even scarier is the stuff that is not being talked about yet. I’m leaving an AI security conference in Vegas tomorrow and some of the things I’ve learned this week makes Mythos look basic/elementary.
