I’ve certainly never been asked to do KYC with Luminati after using them for hundreds of terabytes over the years.

It’s not like I’m using some bigco email address or given them any other reason to skip KYC either.

They probably would if they would see your username here!

I think they should have requested KYC when I was complaining about being unable to log into gmail, but I’m not going to complain as long as the service works.

I don’t use Luminati for anything illegal though, so it’s possible they just have some super amazing abuse detection algorithms that know this.

They do KYC when you want to unblock certain domains.

Also not my experience, even though I’ve had to email them for whitelisting.

It might just be because my account is very old?

Maybe, or more likely you’re not trying to pull in content that is considered high risk to them, such as YouTube transcripts.
