Ask HN: Do you still shop at Newegg now that they have blocked VPN?

I found myself moving back to shop at Amazon after Newegg went out of their way to block ExpressVPN and Nord. I have too many people using VPN at my office to disable it, even temporarily. Do you guys know any other solutions?

    You can thank all the scalpers scraping the website every second and possibly trying to circumvent blocks with VPNs.
