Outstanding work DS3!  Big thumbs up for you.  I never even considered the possibility of VPN being involved in the GG "scandal" where they banned 40 bigname pros, perhaps the reason for some of those bans was not RTA at all but rather pros playing illegally (meaning, against the terms and conditions of the poker sites) from their American home base?  I'm a fan of one of those pros who was banned and he has always proclaimed his innocence of the accusation he was using RTA... but hmmm... perhaps he's truthful on that but he knows he cannot bring up the real reason for his ban or it would just cause more problems for himself?  One additional clue is that after he was caught up in the ban wave, he then signs with ACR as a sponsored pro, and of course ACR *IS* (cough cough) "legal" to be played from USA IP addresses...  and I'll also just mention the curious case of Chris Moneymaker, who in the past year or so also decided to leave the non-USA Poker Stars for the much more USA-friendly ACR sponsorship...  Chris was his usual open self when he said he was sick of traveling to canada each time he wanted to play in a big tournament series on Poker Stars, but it makes me wonder if he too was abusing the VPN technique and was either caught (my speculation) or was getting worried he might be caught and decided to pre-empt any problems by leaving on his own?

Anyhow, these are entirely my own opinions, but you definitely opened my eyes to this additional possibility.  Again, superb work DS3!!  :cool:
