Just use a Canadian VPN address

I did.

The VPN rule here fits perfectly with everyone who supported BBCs verification of PALs for unserialized parts.

That would be a shame. I'm not anonymizing my account from CGN. I have one account and I always log in with it. I want my traffic encrypted at least until it is out of my ISP's control.

you want a 'residential proxy' to not come up as a datacenter, which are easy to spot and blacklist. google them and you'll find plenty that offer the service, bit more expensive, but it's far more anon if that's your concern.

That happened to me once.

The VPN thing, or the rectal bleaching?

When trying to visit your website while running a VPN (as I always do), I get a notification that the IP is blacklisted.
Why do you not allow the use of a VPN? I'd rather not have to disable my VPN in order to browse a website, especially when I'm browsing firearms and related items.

We don't block VPN's, just sources outside North America. After the recent breaches, it is one of the security measures we have implemented to minimize our attack surface. If you select a Canada or US endpoint it should work fine over a VPN.

Just curious why this site CGN blocks VPN coming in. As long as a valid user account is used, why bother?
I sometimes forget to turn off the VPN and see a terrible message about how bad I'm being in doing so.

Not entirely correct. Using a VPN while accessing the EE on CGN will get you banned unless you have a paid account. Ask me how I know.

I'm interested to know why this is. At first glance the VPN rule seems absurd to me.
