Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

Unable to Connect if vpn is active (Windows 11)

I am unable to connect to the FTH 4 sites for both my clubs (East Ottawa Toastmasters #3656, Advanced Speakers Club #7258) if I'm connected to the vpn.  My laptop is on home wifi, then I connect to vpn.  Any attempt to go the website fails - i.e. nothing happens.  When I disconnect vpn, then I connect immediately.

I've tried this from 2 Win11 laptops and one Win11 desktop.  Interestingly, I tried an old Win10 laptop and had no issue.  There must be some setting in Win11 which is causing the issue.  Any suggestions?

Cheers,

FTH does not support VPN most are blocked because of hackers.

Ok. So, that's going to be a challenge for me to be admin. Sometimes, I do my work away from office (i.e. Starbucks), so I always connect my vpn. Any other way around this?

Thanks.

Sorry no. FTH4 and FTH3 have the same blocks in place and using FTH3 it didn't bother you.

Try different VPN IP
