VPNs have legitimate uses, but they can pose a problem on forums like this. An outright ban on VPN use is undesirable (and difficult to enforce), but the growing group of posters who seem determined to disrupt this forum have me a little worried for the future of the forum.
I'm asking that anybody who uses VPN please lets me know via private message. I'll keep the info to myself, of course. Undeclared VPN use may lead to accounts being suspended, or even deleted.
It's a shame that it's come to this.

If people are gonna be weird and just post disruptive or unrelated crap, especially on a vpn, I don't see why you're not justified in banning them.
Some weirdos on here will get upset, sure, but who cares what they think 😂

Your question may as well be in Latin to me Moonie as I am very old school, any clues to how I answer would be helpful? I thought we all accessed via vpn but obviously not, a quick google search hasnt helped me either, apologies. |

VPN hides your IP address, everybody that goes online has an IP address, with a VPN you can set your location to another country, it is used mainly to circumnavigate TV settings, if you have a VPN you can watch programs from the US that may well be locked out of the UK. I had one for when we went on holiday so I could still use my betting account and back the horses which you couldn't do otherwise. You don't really need one so don't worry. |

I only use a VPN to watch the curse of oak island cos it's a season ahead in America. Paid £60 for 2 years of Surfshark but it slows everything down too much and have to prove your not a robot after every single thing you search for so I honestly dont know how people get on with them. I wish Id never bothered.

I'll drop you a message in a moment. I could be wrong, but I think some phones come with them included in your plan so might not be 100% right that because if so then one click when setting your phone up with the recommended settings could easily be done without knowing or knowing what you were clicking if your not tech savvy |

It's not quite the same as a VPN, but the result is identical from the admin perspective on here. There may be other phone companies/networks with other systems that I'm unaware of. |

Im sure my Vodafone plan has a VPN pre-installed cos had to turn it off to do the Surfshark one. I cant remember how consciously I had to connect it or whatever, but it was definitely not something that I sought out and installed myself |

In that case it's possible there are folk using VPN without realising it. |
