VPN and board access

Post by G G » Fri Jun 11, 2021 1:11 am

I like to use a VPN because I value privacy, enjoy maximizing my netflix account, and want to get the most out of my dollar when purchasing online. The problem is that the buzzboard blocks me when I am coming in from some countries.


Donald Trump was and is the best president this country has ever had. And he will return to glory as our leader again.

You are correct that I've instructed my security software to impose a geo block on certain countries.

Certain countries - especially Russian federation countries - have been responsible in the past for a litany of spambot registrations. I'm talking hundreds upon hundreds of spambot registrations within a month's time.

The geo block has effectively stopped 99 percent of these registrations. I've also had zero successful site hacks since implementing the new security software a couple years ago.

I can get in usually when I am out of Frankfurt, Germany. Not always though.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

What about when you are in Frankfort, KY?


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

I really like how you two complain your pants off about trolls infecting this board, and then, the first chance you get, you come around here to harass me. Just because you two want to dish it out, doesn't mean you won't take it later on.
