okay i read their faq today.  it appears i was being blocked but not really meeting the criteria for nymshifting.  i also had other issues with them as a provider.

anyways, maybe they have improved, so i think people should make their own decision. it's free so it wont be that hard.

i do recommend something like https://www.astraweb.com/

you can pay 10 bucks and get a 25gig block which will last forever.
it's lasted me like 3 years.

it says here for my acct:
