I’ve renewed my Maylasia membership twice now from Australia and haven’t needed a VPN. Also appears I’m on some form of grandfathered pricing as my last renewal last month was significantly cheaper then the currently online price.

You can find it on the status page when you loging to velocity...
Just noticed the website now shows Forever Gold status. I'm still 7500 SCs away! $45,000 of VA spending based on this promo ($90k normal outside of a DSC promo).
