[NSC] Using VPNs on NSC

[RandyWanger]

If you look, my IP will say I am in Amsterdam. This is not to hide my true identity from NSC but from my ISP.
People have legitimate reasons for using a VPN.

 

[Fiskmås]

Wouldn't dream of using the internet without a VPN. Pages that require me to turn it off are pages that I stop using.

Weird thread. It's probably hard for a mod to tell you're using a VPN anyway. You can even have VPN cloaking if they actually have VPN detection (which I'm sceptical of).

We need to use VPLs on NSC because the deep state are watching are every word and will send in the two tear OB unless we hide what we are saying to stand up against the illoominighties

Firstly, I think the owner of the Board and the mods do a magnificent job 98% of the time. And I've always been happy to highlight the 2% on the board or by PM

I think it's not an easy job and they do it very well. However, it's always been the case that there are accounts set up to troll, wind up and cause trouble on the board. These are often multiple accounts set up, one after another in order to try and disrupt what is ostensibly an honest, if often divergent, very contrary and lively board. So should the owner/mods be able to ask posters to turn off their VPN's to prove they are not bad actors.

Given what we get, for free, from these people in terms of time, effort and technology, I don't think it's unreasonable. Do you ?

Some of us contribute.

I infrequently use a VPN to watch various shows from the homeland…or buying stuff from the US. I had never thought about assuming an alternative persona whilst using a VPN…a whole new world has opened up for me!! This is exciting…

Correct, NSC is NSC...

National Security Council

The National Security Council (NSC) is the main forum for collective discussion of the government’s objectives for national security and about how best to deliver them in the current financial climate.

The subtle difference being less red button and more bottle top?

Which is why I recognise the same banned users within the week, whilst the mods need actual proof

How do you even know who's been banned?

How do you even know who's been banned?

I think the grenade has been thrown into the room and the OP has retreated to a very safe distance, probably the adjacent county

 

[Guinness Boy]

How do you even know who's been banned?

There are a large number of ways a normal user can tell an account’s been banned.

I’m far from surprised that you haven’t worked it out yet.

 

[Birdie Boy]

I use a vpn legitimately as I'm out of the country and don't want the locals to know what I'm doing especially accessing being sites.

Life’s too short to waste on the disingenuous and insincere.

Exactly the reason Harris/Walz will win the US Presidential election.

VPN cloaking

I believe the Romulans invented it in 2364 but the Vulcans perfected it.
