I’m still getting errors when using a VPN. I see the threads from yesterday complaining about it, but since then it seems no one is talking about it or suggesting any solutions.
My VPN only has so many locations which I can’t choose from, and it seems all of them are banned. So how am I supposed to access DA without disabling my VPN?
If there’s a split tunnel option in your VPN, use it to exclude a browser and open DA from that browser.
Oh is this a DeviantArt policy change? I messaged support about it and they told me it was an issue with the configuration of my vpn, so I’ve been trying to figure out what could be the issue.
I thought I was alone in these issues
Just use a different server, all services do this, reddit, google etc all block my vpn regularly. I just switch server until it works, you are sharing your ip and bad people do bad things.
The other way is setup a vps and run your own vpn with an ip address just for you, this will hide your traffic from your isp but not the vps provider though.
So how will i use split tunnel to access deviantart through vpn or is there a solution to this?
I feel like you may as well turn off the VPN. Doesn’t tunneling expose your traffic anyway?
No, we are all dealing with it.
wow, they were straight up lying to you to get you to stop asking questions. This is sad.
I run my own VPN with a dedicated IP, and I’m going through this too. I suspect they may have just blocked an entire block.
I already said that my VPN only has so many servers, I don’t pick which one I get, and it seems ALL of them have been banned.
If there’s an option to download WireGuard config and you’re using Windows, you can load the config to TunnlTo for split tunneling. Other OS may have similar app.
Tunneling is what a VPN do. Split tunneling means some of the traffic isn’t tunneled.
Its more than likely that their support team wasn’t aware of any changes and assumed that it was a configuration issue. I’d give them the benefit of the doubt
I have at least hundreds to choose from and after cycling through a few dozen I still haven’t found one that lets me through… -.-
From the sounds of it, isn’t split tunnelling just turning the VPN off for one specific website?
Right, my bad, I should have said “split tunneling” to be specific
I highly doubt that. The vpn change was most likely planned, given that all users reported the site down, not just vpn users. Unless you messaged them during the sitewide shutdown. But even then, there’s no way they didn’t know what was about to happen.
Yep, that’s the only option until DA allow your VPN
Or I could turn it off.
