I have Sattilite internet due to where I live I just want to make sure it's ok to start doing freebie sites before I start?

Most of the major sites have no doubt dealt with satellite ISP's by now, however the smaller/newer ones may not have. I've even seen it in some TOS that satellite users were *not* allowed.

So I would suggest that you send a support e-mail/ticket to each site and ask before completing offers, and then you'll know for sure.

The problem with satellite ISP's is that they appear to be proxies, since the connection must be routed through terrestrial proxy servers. Not only that, but thousands of people can go through the same proxy and appear to be sharing an IP (you, for example, have the same IP here as 4 other members Wink

)

Again, most freebie networks (or anti-fraud scripts) that been around awhile are aware of this and can distinguish the legitimate satellite proxies from the "bad" proxies, but you don't want to take risks IMO.
