Can you please stop treating VPN users like they're criminals, please?
There are many valid, important uses for VPNs such as accessing devices at home when away, maintaining privacy from ISPs and governments, adding security to your connection on public wifi or mobile data, avoiding monitoring from abusive partners or family, etc. etc.
More and more governments and law enforcement agencies around the world are covertly stalking law-abiding citizens online, more and more companies are harvesting and selling or abusing user data. VPNs aren't criminal tools, they're quickly becoming a fundamental necessity for using the Internet.
Not only does Scribble Hub stop me leaving star ratings and reviews when I'm on a VPN, I can't even search the forums to see if this has been discussed before because the search system specifically ignores "vpn". I'm not even joking, it shows this error:
You have to be logged in to leave a rating or review in the first place. If I'm logged in, what does it matter if I'm on a VPN? It's not like I can leave one review, switch the VPN endpoint, and leave another review on the same series, all while logged into the same account. Surely the website isn't that easy to trick?

The following words were not included in your search because they are too short, too long, or too common: vpn
