How It Works

Some firms ban VPN and VPS use outright, while others allow it but require a consistent IP region through the evaluation.

Genuine travel is different from masking your location, but frequent region changes can flag the account for review.

Final Thoughts

Trade from your usual connection and keep your location consistent to avoid any verification issues at FTMO.
