When starting a first session of the day on nulledvault.com, a red notification box appears stating that VPNs/proxies are forbidden. However, this restriction can be bypassed simply by visiting any subpage, which redirects normally and allows access.
Additionally, when attempting to access the forum using a VPN or Tor in a browser where the user is not logged in (Tor being the most noticeable case), the entire forum is blocked immediately. This also prevents access to the login page.
It may be preferable to allow access to at least the login page, and possibly the main forum page so users who do not know the login URL can still reach it. If restricting browsing for non-logged-in users is intended, one possible approach would be to display only a login page to unauthenticated visitors instead of blocking the entire site.
Thanks a lot, as always.
