At KeyStone Funded, the security and integrity of every trading account is extremely important.
The use of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and VPSs (Virtual Private Servers) is permitted, provided they are used for legitimate purposes and do not violate our Terms of Service.
Is using a VPN or VPS allowed?
Yes.
Many professional traders use VPNs or VPSs for reasons such as:
Improving connection stability
Reducing latency
Trading while traveling
Protecting personal privacy
Running automated strategies (where permitted)
Using these services alone does not constitute a violation of our policies.
However, they must never be used to conceal prohibited activity or circumvent our security procedures.
Prohibited Use
VPNs or VPSs may not be used to:
Share account access with another individual.
Hide the identity of the account owner.
Bypass geographical or regulatory restrictions.
Operate accounts on behalf of another trader.
Conceal prohibited trading activity.
Circumvent KeyStone Funded's Terms of Service.
If our Compliance Team determines that a VPN or VPS has been used for fraudulent or unauthorized purposes, the account may be subject to review or termination.
KYC & Identity Verification
During the KYC/AML verification process, we may request that identity verification be completed through a standard internet connection if additional verification is required.
If unusual activity is detected, our Compliance Team may request additional information before approving your account.
Providing false information or attempting to hide your identity during verification may result in:
Verification delays
Rejection of your KYC application
Account suspension
Permanent refusal of service
Our Recommendation
If you use a VPN or VPS, make sure:
You remain the only person accessing your account.
Your connection is secure and reliable.
Your trading activity complies with all KeyStone Funded Trading Rules and Terms of Service.
You can verify your identity if requested by our Compliance Team.
Final Note
Using a VPN or VPS by itself is not a violation of KeyStone Funded's policies.
Our concern is how these tools are used, not the tools themselves. As long as you remain the sole account owner and comply with our Trading Rules and Terms of Service, you are welcome to use them as part of your trading setup.
