Accessing the Forum with a VPN

[Banjo]

A couple of members complained about not being able to get into the site while using a VPN, I tried it with TOR Browser and got this reply.

Error 1009 Ray ID: 711a4b2afdeb58e4 • 2022-05-26 23:29:33 UTC
Access denied
What happened?

The owner of this website (xxxxxxxxxx.proboards.com) has banned the country or region your IP address is in (TOR) from accessing this website.




Anyone else had issues?

[Banjo]

Seems like a local issue, I ran tests using Nord VPN without problems.

[Trevros]

I use CyberGhost VPN and have never had a problem.

[Banjo]

Apparently ProBoards blocks anything through TOR and apparently...

ProBoards won't accept any Australian or NZ VPN locations . . . but doesn't mind VPN locations in the US, Canada, Mexico, Britain and South Africa.

No idea why, the guy was using Avast.

I just logged off and put the Cyber ghost VPN on Australia like I need to see Australian websites and no problem either way.
