Oddbean new post about | logout
 I've been zapping a lot less since I realized Alby throws a 404 instead of responding with an invoice if I try to zap someone from certain IP addresses. These IP addresses are bgp announced from a data center on the west coast, but the company whois on the AS is NYC. I hit a similar wall last year trying to use the Zebedee api and they told me I shouldn't connect "from NYC" despite the physical location of the server being California. 

I could trivially resolve this by using a different VPN/IP address, but no.  I refuse to bend and fit myself through your regulatory compliance.
