Hi
Just recently I get a intercept page saying the site is forbidden when I am using my VPN service.
Its just good practice for security..... - No problem with the Valkyrie site with it disconnected.
Its there a recent connection change that prevents using a VPN service for the site?
Thanks

Wish I could assist you but, I don't even know what VPN stands for.  But, here's a bump for your post. Someone here knows something about this. Just not me.  Rams  |

Rams I am kind of a geek engineer so tech stuff is my thing. But anyhoo, a short explanation... Anybody surfing the internet with a service gets an address for your spot assigned, called an IP address from your provider. -- Its yours... If you didnt know, it locates the town where you live. (I dont know on this one, but possibly your street.) So for security, you can pay a subscription for multiple remote addresses around the country and world. Its called a Virtual Private Network, or the VPN So my home address gets routed thru the location I pick that session. For me, sometimes DC, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Houston and there are around 10 others plus Canada. -- Anybody trying to hack you cant figure out what your real address is and it could save your backside.... -- Generally a good idea, and near required for any financial accounts. |

Well, thanks. I learned something today.  Here's another bump for your question. Carl (Willow), Bryan (Serk) or anyone of you other (geeks) guys checking this thread? Rams |

Other than the ones I use for employment (And a stand alone one for specific nefarious activities) I don't use a VPN for general purpose browsing, I feel it brings more attention to your activities, not less...
Having said that, can you post a screenshot or describe the error? Wondering if the block is coming from the VPN provider side or the VRCC side.
Does your VPN let you choose country of origin on the fly? If so have you tried a different country of origin of your packets?

Go here and read. I know about this because I walked past a geek's cubicle and saw the URL. That's my story and I'm sticking to it... BTW you can put yourself in most countries of the world, and even your ISP doesn't know who you are, where you are, or what you are doing. You are unhackable. That's what I heard anyway... https://www.purevpn.com/ |

Amazon is a PIA, where I have to turn it off to play any videos. There are a handful of other sites that are the same. Here - about 25% of the time, I get a pop up saying it will not connect. Thats ok, I just close it, then reopen until it will connect. |
