Access denied while using VPN

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) operate by concealing a user's authentic IP address with an alternate one, bolstering privacy. However, this tactic has been co-opted by spammers seeking to operate anonymously. The issue arises when VPN-assigned IP addresses are exploited for spam dissemination or nefarious activities. To combat this, we've integrated automated security protocols leveraging algorithms to identify and block IP addresses engaged in spamming. Regrettably, legitimate users may encounter an "Access Denied" message if their VPN assigns them an IP previously linked to spamming.

This feature is fundamental to safeguarding our forum against spam users and content and cannot be deactivated. If a genuine user encounters this message while using a VPN, we suggest seeking a new IP address from the VPN provider, opting for a different VPN service less associated with spamming, or accessing the forum without a VPN.
