Again, though, FT isn't the only site subject to such mischief, yet no other sites I use regularly - including similar message boards/forums (also relying on volunteers) have such widespread VPN blocking. These are more widely known and busier forums than FT so I'd guess they would be similar targets, if not more so. Yet FT is the only site where I now have to turn off the VPN to access, nearly 100% of the time lately.
