My phone is protected through using Nord VPN - this morning Cloudflare blocked my attempts to log-in - and immediately allowed them as soon as I had 'paused' my VPN. Normally this isn't a problem.  There used to be a board to report e.g. technical issues, but as that now seems unavailable I have posted (quite inappropriately) here. Do you have an issue - clearly VPN use is generally a far safer option than e.g. using unknown or public WiFi?

Hi @Penguin68 ,  its fine to post technical issues in the Lounge, or use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.

We've have numerous spammers attempting to register on the site using VPNs lately. Furthermore, yesterday we had a suspicious user use a VPN to register and send private messages to other people who had posted in the 'Wanted' section of the forum asking for Paypal payments (obviously a scammer).

As a consequence, yesterday evening I blocked some VPN services from accessing the website. However, I am still figuring out the most appropriate way to block malicious activity like this and I certainly don't want to block legitimate forum members like yourself who have other reasons to use VPNs.

I have just now tweaked the firewall rules so your VPN service may be allowed again. Could you let me know if that's the case?

    • In the proud spirit of stating the bleeding obvious (!) here is some more RSPCA advice re dogs in hot cars and a downloadable leaflet which contains emergency first aid for heatstroke: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/dogsinhotcars https://www.rspca.org.uk/documents/1494939/7712578/Dogs In Hot Cars Leaflet.pdf/ade4c043-90ee-7091-c97f-02f047f7b4b3
    • What exactly is the point of having a go at someone who is trying to help and spread useful information? Is the heat getting to people? What does it matter what someone calls dogs?
    • In this heat, our wildlife from bees to birds and squirrels rely on our help. Please think about leaving out a tub of water for them… bees like a shallow dish with rounded stones for them to stand on while they drink.  Doesn’t  take much to help our local wildlife… get the kids to help!!! many thanks x
