The problem with VPN's is that they are commonly used by spammers. Our forum is protected by an antispam blocker (we get 1000's of hits per day). So if you have gotten a notice that you are being blocked, then the IP address that the VPN is using has been compromised as some point.

Just turn off the VPN and log in using the 'remember me' feature and you should be able to use your VPN after that.

I haven't had that problem here but when I do I just switch to a different VPN server and that usually solves the problem.
