When I try to access this site with my VPN on I get a message saying the Administrator has banned my IP address and when I disable the VPN I have no such issues
Anyone else run into this?

VPN on works for me across phone, tablet and laptop. Only problem I have is with the android operating systems. They randomly turn off the VPN.
It's using "too many resources".
No, it's stopping them from tracking me is the problem.
But I'm a jerk like that.
Currently I'm in Montreal. To the snoopers anyway.
Certain VPN's have been recently blocked because the Scammers have been using them on this site.
Some firewall settings detect unverifiable VPNs & blocks them until a reliable connection is established…at least what my IT friend connotes.
...Speak softly & carry a big stick...
Yes, I had the same issues last night. Logged on this morning and no problem.???
VPN’s are the primary way scammers & spammers access the site. This year alone we had multiple groups access the site using VPN’s which have a documented history of abuse - those loopholes in have now been disabled.
All scams which have happened in S&S (“Good day mate! My friend has what you are after, email him”) have come in using VPN’s.
In order to slow them down I am blocking VPN’s as they use them. I am confidant there will be more VPN’s blocked in the future so those accessing using VPN’s may have issues if they are using the same VPN’s the scammers are using.

Interesting. I use a Norton VPN and have had a few instances of issues using it on random sites. Not many and not here. Thanks for the info.

As I am sure you are very aware, there have been many, many attacks on reloading and firearms related forums/sites. It is an ongoing issue that is approaching being on war footing, in a cyber war. Keeping a site up and running is very time consuming. Thanks guys for the time and effort.

It gives us good practice for playing that 'wack-a-mole' game at the fair.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
