Using VPN

Sorry no, FTH has been attacked too often by bad actors hiding behind VPN.

Do you have any solution around this issue?

Don't use a VPN to access FTH, or try and find a VPN company that has not had all its IP blocked for abuse.

So what you're saying is that it's not blocked by merely being VPN, but because there's abuse?

(Also, simply not using VPN is not a solution to the security issue I'm asking about.  Turning on VPN is the solution that people normally use, but which is being circumvented here, which is why I'm asking for an alternate solution.)

Same answer,, don't use a VPN when accessing FTH.

Basically, what I gather is that you don't have a solution to what I'm asking about, which is security for users' systems and data, all the while saying the answer is to not use VPN, which is what is causing the security concern for users in the first place.

For users that are concerned, this is the closest I can get: if your VPN has these features, use split-tunnelling on a per-app basis (like accessing the site on a different browser) or on a per-website basis.  Obviously, you won't get full protection, but you'll still maintain some.

 

FTH blocks VPN for the reasons specified by Brian. There will be no attempt by the completely volunteer FTH staff to jump through hoops to accommodate a technology that is leveraged by misbehaving actors.

Access FTH via avenues outside of VPN tunnels or don't use FTH.
