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 Interesting. In that case it's possible there are folk using VPN without realising it. I believe that may be the case. I know my Vodafone one is much less intrusive than the Surfshark so I dont even notice it except I get a little box with VPN inside on the bar across the top next to the signal icon etc but only on the screen that appears when I hold my finger over the wifi/mobile signal icons and drag down on my iPhone. I think it might possibly show up on my home screen when I am using mobile data instead of wifi, but couldn't be 100% sure on that, but other than that, you wouldn't even know it was there. The plot thickens.

The plot thickens. ps. Actually, thinking on, even I use a VPN without knowing it, cos if Im using my phone, then the VPN is always on and I've only just realised now. I rarely come on here on my phone though

Is it a woman problem, like VPL? Asking for a friend. Don't worry mate, these are the kind of problems for folks who cant get women, or have had one that long that they're sat at home in different rooms listening to love will tear us apart again and texting other people

Be interesting to see who falls foul of this, and which posters suddenly disappear, hope it helps clean things up.
Can we have a thread for anyone busted using multiple accounts, and likewise, anyone who get`s banned/deleted their account ?
When the name just disappears, it`s often hard to work out who it was, and whether they`re someone who was a worthwhile contributor, and will be missed, or was just bringing the board down.

I don't want to act like Maoist China but this may be a good idea. Moonie and I are also thinking people should all be creating introductory threads so we can scope out the baddies and the bad faith actors. Keith

Moonie could set up a sticky of a rogue's gallery with info passed to The Soul so he can send the boys round or better still the fella's dogs from Blackburn then we can all have a bit of peace.

Violent but clearly in jest so I won't be reporting this one, make sure to think before you post in the future though Keith

Is it not more relevant those that were using them to sign up for the site and not people who might be signed into the board and then switch their VPN on for "other" reasons and it then show up that they are using one. A site i use actually shows your current claimed location on your page so that everyone can see where youre claiming to be logged on from. Obviously not for use on here for if anyones looking for one after the problems i had with NORD at the start of the season i now use AVG which is brilliant and ever so simple to use and around the same price as the rest of the proprietary ones

Nearly 20 years ago, I was a moderator on a forum, and got very friendly with a girl who posted, a lot. She was in a relationship but was a walking encyclopedia for the subject in question, and was exceedingly hot.
One night we`re chatting away, and I noticed 2 IP addessed logged in, that were identical. I told her, she panicked and logged off quickly.
It turns out the 2nd IP, was her other half, who`d become a bit suspicious of how much time she was spending on the forums, made an account, and had gone through all our posts, flirting with each other, and he wasn`t best pleased.
He sent me an angry message, stating he knew where I lived, and when I got into work a day later, my boss said there was some very angry bloke, who`d called, and demanded to speak to me, and only me.
Nothing came of it, and she turned out to be a lesbian....or so she claimed.....but damn ! she really was hot.
I will only ever sign in here from one IP address, have never used a VPN, or want one.
And I`m not sure I should do an internet search for whatever VPL is either, I`m about to eat !

This thread (mostly, because I'm not sure about "Keith") reaffirms what's great about this forum. Moonie explains, clearly. Blue22 then isn't sure about what a VPN is, with regular posters helpfully piping up with explanations. 09sider then takes it to a wonderful different level with VPL (which Mrs WLYC and Nipples howled at!). Then, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Blumineauxnoir tops it with his "exceedingly hot" story - which really needed Donna Summers' "Hot Stuff" as an obligatory soundtrack! 🤣🤣🤣
