Shameful Shroomery Policy - Disallowing VPN Usage * 2
    #26459796 - 01/30/20 08:08 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)

This website should be encouraging all its users to protect themselves through the use of a VPN. It's an invasion of privacy to insist that I connect via my private IP to make a post in many of the active forums or even file a ticket. I really expect something better from the administrators here. How about get some good security and DDOS protection, rather than expose your users to surveillance and invade their privacy by dictating how they can connect to the site? Just a thought.

Judging from your profile name, I thought you'd be into the thrill of taking such risks :lol:

hope they disallow access via TOR too so when you get perma banned it's actually enforceable

I’ve never purchased or properly set up a VPN. I just wanted to use Tor Browser for some extra security. Come to find almost any node you try to connect from has been blacklisted due to some asshat trolling the Shroomery.

OP has an actual VPN though and can’t use it, hmm... you’d think they would encourage that. :tinfoil:

I think it's allowed for supporters or if you have a certain number of posts or something. In any case, I hardly find it an "invasion of privacy" let alone a security risk. We do it to prevent people from trolling and ban evading, etc. not to steal your info or something.

Still, there is a way in which I respect your commitment to VPN usage in order to protect privacy. I wish more people took online privacy and anonymity so seriously.

Half the time I use a VPN, never thought it could be dangerous without one.

It’s a 50 post minimum and is to deter bots and trolls but I agree with OP. Almost all my online activity is done through my vpn including on my phone. Pisses me off when I can’t use it.

There's nothing stopping a VPN from monitoring your activity.

I'd worry more about sharing information that can be used to identify yourself than your ISP going "DRUGS BAD!" and sending the cops over based on the fact that their records show that you leased the IP address of a machine connecting to Shroomery.

Connecting to Shroomery via Tor might honestly make your account less secure.

I've connected to shroomery loads of times with different VPN servers. Always works for me.  :shrug:

What are you talking about? I've been accessing the shroomery using a VPN for over 6 years.
