Hi, I love this site and it has saved me lots of money, which I spent on impulse buys of other bargains found here.
About a month ago I started using a VPN on my desktop computer, and since then I have been unable to comment on threads. I have full account access with my phone and netbook (which are not connecting via VPN) so I am sure the problem is VPN related.
I know that some people use VPNs to get around bans, but I am not doing that.
What do I need to do to get my desktop bargains back?
Thanks for the reply scotty.
I guess I'll try some different VPN servers until I find one that works.
My clumsy fingers make browsing unpleasant on devices that aren't KB + mouse.
And thanks again for providing such a great site. I have learned a lot about bargain hunting, and got some good ideas and great laughs from the forums
[edit]Removing the VPN from my desktop would fix my problem, but I want the anonymous benefits and privacy of the VPN more than convenience of bargain hunting right now.
Why can't you turn it off to visit ozbargain?
So you want anonymous on this site?
no can do, it's just the way my pc is set up. it is a torrenting box and I want it behind a VPN.
If I lose some access like OzBargain, that sucks bigtime, but it will be the price I pay for anonymity. It is not like I can not access the site, it is just aquward to use my netbook or phone
Yes we do block some VPN endpoints from posting deals & comments. Use your normal residential, mobile or business broadband connection and it should work.
