but tell me the vpn story dude
i am confused vpn on=ban?
Not staff but thought to respond.
A lot of people (in general, this is not specific to MCNR) use VPNs for malicious activities because they think it gives them anonymity.
For that reason many VPN services / I.P addresses are blacklisted in many places due to malicious activities logged against them already or automatically as a precaution.
I do not know if that is a factor in this case but I would not be surprised.
