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:

Using VPN

4 days 21 hours ago
#105545
Isn't there a way for people to access the club websites with VPN without registering the IP address every time?  As pointed out by others in other threads, the issue is that users don't want their own system and data compromised.  It's not that we don't think FTH should be secure, but we also want our own devices to be secure too.  It seems like we are being told to simply not use VPN, but that isn't a solution to our own security concerns.

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

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.)
