For a project to drive an industrial valve I am looking for a MCU board with following specs ( only key specs listed )
32 Bit
USB Programmable using Arduino IDE
Must have 1 or 2 DAC ( 12 bit)
Must have EEPROM of atleast 2KB size.
3.3V or 5V supply rails.
Fact is all of above is neatly met by the Teensy3.x. But then PJRC has a policy of not allowing people from certain countries into their forum. I happen to be one such. So it would be stupid to use one such product with no support.
Hence apart from the Teensy is there any other option ?

Blue pill ?
Not really !! Of course my search is on but this is a parallel request. And this pill has of late acquired a different meaning which I guess will be out of context is a tech forum … ha ha !!

Time to learn how to use a VPN then. 
Well yes I did try once but it was a free VPN and got kicked out too 
Maybe a regular paid subscription VPN would work. I don't know …
But then this also has the other angle to it … they don't want to entertain some people so why bother them. Its good to honour their decisions and keep out. After all they did not call me … I went and so when the door is shut I turn back.

Have you emailed paul about this? Paul's email is paul@pjrc.com. I'm sure he will be willing to help resolve your situation.
What country are you from?
Of course … and Paul was kind enough to release the block once but blocked again in a few days. He claims that countries like India / Pakistan / Bangladesh and few more send lots of spam and he is unable to find another way to tackle that. So I need to respect his claim and try some other hardware.
I am form India.
OK one more thought... I ses that getting the DAC and EEPROM on small foot print module is tough if we ignore the Teensy.
In my application I use the EEPROM to store a user array... not big ...just about 100 int values or 200 bytes. So can I instead store this in the Flash … of course the downside is to edit this I will need a code download.
