An irritating DIBB issue

Warkman58 · 30 May 22, 10:53 AM

Like, I’m sure many others, I use a VPN to safeguard my IT.
However, I cannot have it turned on when accessing the DIBB.
I’m sure the mods have good reasons for this, to stop spamming, fake posts etc, but it means my computer/tablet/phone is vulnerable whilst connected to the DIBB.
Very irritating.

We do not block VPN's, We only block IP addresses that are known for being used for malicious purposes such as Spamming & Hacking. Personally, I would be much more concerned about using those IP's than using the DIBB without a vpn. Our site is using https (SSL) so data is encrypted and you can click on the padlock in the address bar to view the Security Certificate.

You could leave your VPN on and just add the DIBB to the whitelist or try a different vpn

I was going to say I access the Dibb through a VPN, every now & again I get one that’s blocked so just change it & it’s fine again.

As an experiment I am accessing this page via a VPN and have no issue. So i suspect the company your are using as your vpn and the specific VPN has been flagged. I would suggest contacting your VPN provider and asking them to deal with the issue that you are been blocked from some sites.
