Remote Work Freedom: How to Bypass Country Restrictions

Remote work has long been an option, but it gained significant momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic. As traditional jobs moved online, remote work platforms like Appen, Remotasks, and DataAnnotation became mainstream. I've been working on these platforms for over a year, earning more than $6,000 a month with just a few hours of work each day, all while living in Japan. Curious about how I did it? Read on.

Challenges for Non-English Speaking Countries

If you’re from a non-English speaking country, you might have encountered difficulties registering on remote work platforms. For instance, Prolific won’t show you any studies if your IP and country don’t match, even if you’ve provided an ID for that location. Similarly, DataAnnotation might block your registration or restrict assessments. I experienced this firsthand when my Appen account was limited due to my IP, and I haven't recovered it since. Such restrictions can be frustrating for those eager to join the remote work revolution.

The Solution: Residential Proxies

In these situations, using a residential proxy to mask your IP is often your best option. Unlike VPNs, which are frequently blocked by platforms due to their datacenter IPs, residential proxies are linked to actual residential addresses, making them less likely to be flagged. Using rotating residential, mobile, or rotating human IP addresses provided by proxy services can further enhance your chances, as these IPs are from real users’ devices.

Steps to Access Country-Limited Platforms

1. Choose a Reliable Proxy Provider

Start by checking out the proxy providers mentioned in this blog article. Register on their website and choose a high-quality residential proxy from a country where remote work is available (e.g., the United States, the United Kingdom, or Australia). Alternatively, opt for a rotating proxy service like ROY (human rotating IPs) from IPRoyal for better odds. Investing in a reliable proxy service is crucial for bypassing geographical restrictions and accessing more job opportunities.

2. Set Up Your Proxy with Proxifier

Follow this guide to set up your proxy using Proxifier. Ensure the proxy is working with your browser by checking the connections within the Proxifier window. This step is essential to ensure your internet traffic is correctly routed through the proxy, masking your actual location.

3. Register on Remote Work Platforms

Sign up for the platform you are interested in. Verify that your browser is using the proxy by checking Proxifier. Skipping this verification step could result in detection and possible account limitations. If you need to verify your phone, try textverified.

4. Pass Required Assessments

If the platform requires an assessment, such as DataAnnotation or Remotasks, do your best. You may use ChatGPT to help with answers, but make sure to paraphrase and type the responses yourself. Automated responses can be flagged, so ensure your submissions look natural and personalized.

If you’re having trouble passing the assessments or getting into the platforms, check out my digital store from time to time to see if there are any accounts available for sale.

Additional Recommendations for Success

• Always Use a Proxy: Consistently use a proxy when working on these platforms to avoid detection and potential bans.

• Check Your Grammar: If you’re not a native English speaker, use ChatGPT to check your grammar.

• Dedicated Work Computer: Consider using a separate computer solely for remote work to maintain security and organization, reducing the risk of exposing your real IP address.

• Invest in Your Setup: Use some of your earnings to improve your setup or enhance your skills, boosting productivity and income potential.
