Well, fuck you, Cooler Master.
As soon as I turned my VPN off I was able to successfully send my RMA request.

Won’t an RMA lead to them knowing your physical address anyway? Not sure you can stay private and get replacement gear.
The reason I use VPN is to hide from local ISP and unknown websites.. not from VPN provider and legit websites
Why not? Aren't you worried about either of them selling/leaking your data? I think a lot of people here are.
The concern is completely valid and I would like them not to steal the data too
The more I hide the better
But I'm just stating my usage of vpn, which is not fully hiding, but sometimes, distancing my data
Since hiding is often hard and sometimes impossible and (subjectively) is not fully my goal
You can keep some data hidden from your ISP still
fair point
