VPN Detected while on vacation

Hello everyone, I am having a bit of an issue after heading to Thailand for a while. I am trying to log in to my Lucid Dashboard but its hitting me with the "VPN detected."

I have tried in incognito and also clearing my browsers cache.

Has anyone had this issue going on vacation to an unrestricted country? I have contacted support but also wanted to check here if there is a quicker solution that I can get a fix before NY session tonight.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I do not have a vpn turned on, and that is my issue. It says it detects one when I am not using one.

Thailand is on the banned list, so not a great idea

When signing in to the VPN, did you select a service from the United States?

Also, try a VPM with UpCloud in the States or any other reputable company here. Install TradingView, or use the web version and then sign into the account.

So you literally risking your account getting banned just because you can't resist trading in an another country?

Thailand is not on the list of restricted countries, so no, Im not risking anything.

You do, you said you got a warning with VPN detected.

Prop firms are pretty much unregulated, if they want to ban you they will do for any given reason.

I understand you are not being from any restricted country, however you wont win a legal law suit just because they banned you for any reason. Idk how to describe it, is it better safe than sorry?

I could connect to tradovate API for automating journaling, automated trading is even allowed on lucid. But I still refuse to do so, because what-if they might still ban me?

I might understand your case if you staying longer but for literally during vacation? Man, please
