I have a major beef. Lately, I have had to prove I am a human multiple times, then log in, then prove I am a human again multiple times.

THIS. IS. NOT. GOOD!

And bad web design (I was in IT for a couple of decades including web development).

The major beef seems to be that I use a VPN on MY machine, and FS insists I disable it in order to be assumed to be a human. Short answer: NO!

As said, I use a VPN to protect my machine.You cannot control what is between my machine and your website, only I can. Do not ask me to disable that security.

Do better, FS. Find a better way to block the bots than to burden your many legitimate users with these lazy, sloppy, security techniques.

    Just for more information - is this still ongoing, and which VPN are you using?
