If I don't have an upwork and paypal account yet, can I register an account via vpn as if I'm not from Russia?

Question

Freelance

In connection with the current situation, I am looking for where you can earn in dollars

Answer 1

you can, but they will immediately ban you and then you will never be able to work on upwork.

Answer 2

Caught immediately or later, a lifetime ban.

Answer 3

Did they stop checking documents when registering an account? VPN only solves the issue of access, but will not replace your passport, bank cards, residence permit, etc.
