Dear PayPal,
I live in Indonesia. Our goverment will soon block the internet access to PayPal.
Does PayPal allows me to use VPN or not? (I do not use free VPN. Instead, I have Bitdefender Premium VPN)

No against paypal rules and you may get a ban if you use it.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Now that is the real deal.
Therefore, to play it safe, I shouldn't use VPN. Should I?

I agree with you.
For now, our best choice is to wait until either Indonesia government unblocks PayPal, or PayPal allows Indonesia users to use VPN.
Other alternatives are too risky.

Our Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, commands all "Electronic System Operator" (abbreviation: PSE) to be registered as late as 20 July. They said that this obligation is based on nation's statutory requirements.
PayPal is considered as PSE but has not registered yet. Therefore, the blocking starts on 30 July.
As the result of many Indonesians complain to the government, PayPal is temporarily unblocked until 5 August (in order to facilitate us to draw our remaining balance).
