So is this something Poal is pushing?

Or is it from Captcha? If it's from Captcha, then Poal needs a new verification system.

And if it's from Poal, then there's serious bullshit afoot.

EDIT: To clarify, I know how to set up a VPN. And my VPN has been working pretty much flawlessly for over ten years. This is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this. I keep getting an ‘invalid captcha’ error when using the VPN. I found only one mention of this on the web (related to Poal) but no answers.

Also, I’m using BTGuard.

If you believe VPN services aren't blocking stuff, you are delusional.

I always laugh when people believe "their" VPN will save their ass or acting as a neutral party... I'll even bet there is more traffic sniffing going on at VPN's than your average POP. And this is because stupid people will use VPN's to access illicit sites and big brother knows what you are doing.

Faith in any 3rd party service is delusional. VPNs are generally used to protect the transmission of data on public wifi and a general concealment of shit from places that farm your data like your internet provider. Many govt services have probably breached many services. If you're using a free one then you're the product. I've noticed PIA does block stormfront myself

edit: Dailystormer? idk one of those.

Many popular VPN services used to block voat as well (depending on the location you were logged in, voat was loading as unlogged when it wasn't simply blocked)

Hmm. I wouldn’t NOT believe that, but this is the first time I’ve ever had an issue in over ten years with the same VPN.
