I'm just being nosy -
Well, maybe not being nosy - if none of us use a VPN then should we consider banning them?
If members are using a VPN it's not a problem and not an issue.
I'm just putting out a feeler.

I have never used a VPN for any site ever.
Some use them to view sites "unavailable" in countries in Asia for whatever reason.

I use a vpn sometimes when I am browsing news sites and the Australian I view. Most Australian news sites restrict their video to user in Australia.. I may sometimes continue to use it when I come here.
I cannot see why soene should be banned unless their behaviour is unacceptible. I agree they may not used a VPN to sign up.

Ive voted yes but my real answer is yes and no.
At home I have my VPN permanently on but in the office I don't use the VPN.
Saying that, I do have VPN set up on my back up browser just in case I need to get to a blocked site.

I use unblockaccess.com for sites that are blocked here Drummond etc, otherwise it's wifi at home or true when I'm out and about.

I open my VPN when I want to watch television content live and OR recorded from the mainstream T V service providers in the U K, Drummond and if I want a laugh the Daily Mail content.
Personally I see no reason(s) to block V P N services from our site.
Most of the time TOR browser fulfils my needs, however an extra string or two to ones bow is never a bad habit to cultivate.

I use a VPN most of the time - I find my internet connection is a lot more stable and usable if I use a VPN via Singapore to bypass as much of the local infrastructure as possible.

Okay - all fair comments - VPN stays.
How about me's idea of VPN's being banned from sign up? possible using the forum software?( I doubt it ).
