I left the US again in early February and assumed that the VPN thing would work but now even with the VPN on and after checking for an IP leak (there is none) the surveys always send me an error that I am outside the country from which the survey was intended. I tried to clear the cache of my browser but that did not help either. Has anyone been successful getting these to work with some kind of tweak?
I've been doing the same thing and nothing seems to work. I've tried several VPNs & proxies & Firefox unblock extensions (free ones) and they seem to know you are not in the USA. I've Googled and see that Netflix also found a way to block VPNs & proxies so I think that at least the surveymyopinion ones are using the same technology. Very frustrating for expat Americans!
