Now i have to bring additional papers to proof identity again. I think they're checking the source ip against the registered home country. So if i call from Australia (i.e. Exit Node), but i'm registered to be living in France, they do like this. On one hand a cool security thing, on the other hand a bad side effect of tor... Currently i stuck at reduced paypal account. (There were no transactions in this time) Greets Manuel
