Well, fuck you, Cooler Master.

As soon as I turned my VPN off I was able to successfully send my RMA request.

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
