You are not allowed to use a VPN without permission from me or Tommy. There's specific guidelines/rules for using them. One is that it must have a static IP address that's only assigned to you.
I understand fully that some of you may use it to fix port forwarding, routing issues, or just general security. So we do allow them if permission is granted and you are able to meet the guidelines.
If it's not obvious, we ban VPN's to prevent people from ban evading and improve the overall RC-RP experience. We do care about your privacy/security, so please PM me if you'd like permission to use one and I'll let you know what's needed for that.
