VPN Access
Brad:
Whenever I use my VPN, I get the following message:
--- Code: ---You do not have authorization to view this page

--- End code ---
Is there any reason why the site would block users with VPNs? Thanks.

Because, VPN is a huge source of attacks and spammers. Sorry.

Not gonna argue with you about this, but that's a very poor response.
EDIT: I'll point out the notification screen seems to be generated by IIS. If you're really worried about attacks a spammers, Windows Server isn't a very good platform.

It's not a Windows server. And the last time I tried to work with someone to give him access via VPN, he shit all over me. I don't have time to worry about people with attitude problems.

As a test, I logged into my VPN on my phone and don't have any issues viewing the site or making a post (this one).
