Do you see any pics here? I’ve looked at hundreds of threads and still haven’t seen a single photo?

Yes, pictures load and display.

Your browser is likely blocking remote images - either via a setting or a 3rd party extension. Picture will load in a normal configuration for the major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc.,).

Forgot about that one, which is somewhat uncommon, as some VPNs are blocked from the network assets as they have been previously used to disrupt the services.

So the VPN I'm using is using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) for outgoing VPN connections - which can be used by anyone, including attackers. Is it the best way prevent disruption by blanket-banning CDNs, which are simply rented by VPN providers or others for their services ?

​​​​​​

Is yours blocked? Seem to be posting ok?

No one said it’s the best way, it’s just one of the many ways the forum combats the constant onslaught of spam and scam. It’s used less frequently than other tools.

Yes, I can neither view nor post images, when using vpn. Works fine without VPN - so hoping you can find a better way than banning CDNs, which are rented by multiple reputed VPN providers like ExpressVPN, SurfShark, etc

@IB JT does that make sense to you? If blocked he shouldn’t be able to access the forum and post, not just have issues with the images. Edit I guess it's similar to the issue the OP posted above.

It depends on the type of block our NOC has in place. Some blocks are to our asset server, which means attached images and some javascript functions will not load but the site can still be accessed with limited functions. Other blocks prevent any access to the site.

Yes, so I don't need any javascript functions myself - but it would be nice if images are allowed to be viewed inline if accessed from CDN that is rented out to VPN providers (widely used by many for best-rated VPNs, with no malicious intent). I have no other problems other than not being able to view images.
