Man I am seeing this _everywhere_ now. If you don’t have a clean residential US IP half the internet doesn’t work.

The silver lining is that I rarely need to use these sites for productive purposes. It is a gentle reminder to return to the text editor.
Make sure you're using Windows or MacOS, too. Anything else is clearly Teh Hax0rz!! :-O
If you're an American abroad you can't even use taxact.com or payusatax.com to file your taxes (which you have to because we're the special ones with citizenship-based taxation) because they block every non-American IP, even western Europe. Intuit surprisingly comes out as the less braindead one here.
