By Q4 2023, AngelTrack servers will block connections that originate from outside North America, Australia, and New Zealand.
Purpose
Foreign attacks on AngelTrack servers are increasing in quantity and sophistication. At any point in time, a determined attacker might discover a zero-day vulnerability, against which we do not have any defenses. To reduce this attack surface, AngelTrack LLC has decided to block all internet traffic originating from outside the territories of our customers.
Implementation Timeline
These restrictions will take effect during Q3 2023, as each AngelTrack customer migrates to AngelTrack's new cluster infrastructure.
We do not have an exact date when any particular customer will be migrated; we can only say that each customer will be migrated at some point during Q3 2023, and at that time the geographic restrictions will take effect.
Workaround
If you have a biller in India, or if you intend to vacation in a foreign nation, then you must arrange a VPN client ahead of time.
A VPN client allows you to change the originating IP of your internet traffic, so as to appear to be located in a different country. For the sake of AngelTrack, you must configure your VPN client to situate your originating IP in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, or in New Zealand.
Most commercial VPN products have this capability, at very low cost. Please contact your VPN provider's support department if you are not sure how to use the feature.
