Pogo member helping member forums

Are you using a VPN on your desktop computer when trying to enter the forums?  

Whenever I use a VPN it won't let me access the forums.  I have to disable it in order to enter the forums, which defeats the purpose of having a VPN in the first place, which is something that I am not happy about.

The interesting thing is that I can play POGO games with the VPN on, but as soon as I try to enter the forums, I get an error message.   That  error message  goes away as soon as I turn off the VPN and reload the page that has the error, and thus allows me to enter the forums.
