VPN's and the MX Linux Forum

[richb]

Using a VPN when on the forum may cause you to be blocked by our spam blocking software. A VPN will generally use a random IP which may have been previously used by a spammer and is therefore blocked. Your options are:

1. Recommended: Disable your VPN when using the Forum.
2. Obtain a dedicated IP if your VPN service offers it. Most likely there will be a charge to obtain one.

You can check your IP before using it.

If you're not on any of them, the IP Address is clean from the forum's point of view.
