Are you open to hires that are looking to relocate? This is an industry I'm super into but live in the US. I'd love to move out to either Berlin or Stuttgart.

Thanks! Any car with electric power steering and CAN should be a good candidate for it

First off, thanks! I appreciate you seeing some silver lining in my silly idea :)
And yeah, more than likely they've got a blacklist of VPN IP addresses to check against.

I promise, there's no intent to detect / ban VPN :) I just had some fun implementing this idea before going to bed.

Yeah, it was just a fun idea. I even mention at the bottom of the GitHub page that you could just change your OS timezone. But given it was a small 15 minute hack, I'm not entirely surprised it doesn't work.

Thanks for all the feedback! It was just a fun idea I had before going to bed and it's definitely not fleshed out.
I know that services like Netflix do VPN detection in much fancier ways and had noticed it when traveling abroad. There's no motivation for me to implement it in anything I do.
Thanks again and sorry for wasting your time!

I've got a pretty varied background ranging from doing data engineering + visualization to building full stack web apps to hardware / IoT / robotics to product management. I learn more towards product strategy but love getting my hands dirty in building tech too.
I've been building my own startup in the micromobility space for the last year and a half.
