Question For Members, Anyone Using VPN To Access The Forum?

[Leo Gura]

As we work on reducing spam, I would like to get an idea of what percentage of members here us a VPN when using this forum? I assume most of you don't but just wanted to double-check.

Please reply here if you do use a VPN, and perhaps let me know why you need a VPN and why you can't use your regular ISP.

Thanks

I use VPN on my laptop, and none on my phone. I usually tend to interact in this forum from both of them.

[Rilles]

Nope. No VPN. 

[Tancrede Pouyat]

I do use one, yeah. I could use my regular ISP without issue, really. I just have my VPN on at all times for all internet traffic.

[AndylizedAAY]

I looked it up and I still have no clue what I'm using.

VPN only for video content on here I can't access from the UK. I wouldn't normally log out of the forum when switching to VPN and back.

I can't open the forum without it. Iran limit access to many websites

Yeah, Along time ago when @Forestluv was banning one of my house hold members again and again he used a VPN to hide his ip address. Now he dose not use it since he already regret what he did. He used a VPN so @Forestluv dose not recognize him and leave him. 

VPN is used mostly for hiding your self from mods since if you pay for a VPN then it hides yourself 100%. Its common for trolls and hackers to use a VPN.

Since the free version of VPN are very slow I don't use it anymore and because I don't even need a VPN anymore

I rarely ever use a VPN to browse the clear net. But, around two months ago something happened where I could not log into my account onto the forum. The only work around was using a VPN. The problem lasted around a week total, but I stopped use once the issue resolved itself.

Not here.

[Hafiz]

[peqkno]

I use a VPN too at times. But I could use my ISP, as of now.

Wouldn't it make it easier for you @Leo Gura to make this a poll thread?

[Preety_India]

I don't use VPN.

[Loba]

I don't use one but have been thinking of it to keep protected on the internet, so I might in the future, but I'm not a troll/spammer here and this is my only account.  I could just send a note if I get one later on down the road.

[Isaac k]

 I'm not sure but I'm using an old flip phone and i don't have any other access to the internet.

[yetineti]

I always have a vpn on
