Problems with the forum in Russia

Ghost IP is VPN :wink:

Why have we closed some countries? Mainly because there is a low effective demand for our service, while there is a high chance of deanonymization of participants. People who are really interested in our service can always find ways to bypass the blocking.

Or just buy a premium account :wink:

Yes, this is the easiest way.

I’ve bought a premium account :wink:

Why I don’t have access to the forum without a VPN?

Why would a premium allow you, you still need a VPN.

Unfortunately, the forum does not have functionality for restricting by country, and you have to do it in a more crude way. With this method, we cannot determine whether a user is a paid user at the time of filtering. We apologize for this, but unfortunately it cannot be undone.

Можно как вариант предложить, пользователей разграничивать не по странах, а по группам? К примеру премиум пользователей, фильтр пропускает, не премиум пользователей не пропускает. Так же участников можно добавить в группу премиум и менеджеров, модераторов итд.

interesting new expression to remember :wink:

This is done at VHTV. It’s not possible to do so with VHTV Forum. These are two different pieces of software.

On the forum, each user has his own Premium, standard, not premium group. That’s why I asked, does the forum have its own engine, can you make another filter on the basis of it, or are the forum and the site the same?

We could definitely make such changes as an add-on to the core software of the forum, but it doesn’t seem economically reasonable to make those in foreseeable future.

Объясню вам по-русски. Сайт (ВХТВ) мы разрабатывали сами, и учли в его коде такую возможность. Форум мы сами не делали, взяли готовый. Поэтому такой возможности В ФОРУМЕ нет. А в том ПО, которое для форума фильтрует доступ, нет возможности увидеть группу пользователя. Так что, повторю на русском - нет, всё останется как есть.

Спасибо что объяснили. Так гораздо понятнее да и в будущем для всех кто будет затрагивать эту тему.

I was in Dubai last week and I used VHTV and the forum there with VPN without any problems.
(both VHTV and RLC are banned i UEA)

Dubai and certain other cities within otherwise walled states often have special access rules, particularly in areas with many foreigners.

spam and removed
