Well, if I get this wrong, I'm sure Vicky will turn me over her knee and give me a good one (whadaya mean, I'm
hoping she does, lol.)
I
hate this cam room (There, that oughta do it,
![rotffl :rotffl:](./images/smilies/rotffl.gif)
)
I"m going to try to explain the cam room and your VPN. I don't know how many of you actually use a VPN. But I also feel that older folk (if you know any, hahaha) seem to be more conscious of security. We HAVE to be. We can't fight back anymore.
A VPN basically hides your actual IP Address (IPA.) My understanding is that it even hides your surfing habits from your ISP. It apparently sends your signal to it's own servers, where it gets an anonymous IPA.
Short Explanation: "When you switch it on, a VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between you and a remote server operated by a VPN service. All your internet traffic is routed through this tunnel, so your data is secure from prying eyes along the way. Because your traffic is exiting the VPN server, your true IP address is hidden, masking your identity and location."
Now, here's where the cam room comes in: "The Complications of Privacy: VPNs do have practical drawbacks. Some sites and services look at VPN traffic as suspicious and won't let you connect. That's a real problem, especially when it's your bank that blocks you. In situations like that, you can try a different VPN server, but you may have to wait until you can use a trusted network without a VPN."
This new cam software blocks VPN's. The software uses your VPN for security reasons. If you are coming from a VPN (yes, they can tell) you will get blocked. It's a security thing.
Below is the article. But, basically, if you can't see the models window, remember to turn off your VPN. Don't forget to, like some stupid old ignoramus I know.
And, if I get it wrong, Vicky will be glad to straighten my dumb ass out. You just thought Vicky was pretty, didn't you? Well, she's also intelligent. Smart-as-a-whip comes to mind. I know I drive her crazy sometimes, but maybe that's part of the fun (from my end, lol.)
