Spam Protection - Networks being blocked

abstauber · Wed 05/10/2022 09:55:09

Hey,
unfortunately I can't post from our corporate network anymore. I've checked if our IPs are on any blacklist, but it is not marked.
Is there an allowlist to circumvent this VPN and SPAM detection?
At least for our corp network I can assure that we're no spammers

I'm back to getting blocked by CleanTalk when I'm behind a VPN.

I seem to be able to post even with VPN active.

I was also effected by this before. Would it be possible to exclude users from this check that, for example, registered more than a year ago and/or have more than 100 posts?

Every single registered user is on the whitelist, and has been for the last week or so. Can those of you who are still affected please give me a bit more detail about what's happening? Are you logged in, trying to post? Trying to log in?

I would rather avoid whitelisting IPs if possible, since it's very imprecise. I'll do it if I have to, but I'd rather understand the issue first to see if there's any alternative that doesn't loosen our security too much.

Trying to post while logged in, when behind a VPN. (But this post went through just fine.)

Just chiming in that for me the posts are working normally when I am on VPN.

I got my first Clean Talk blocks today...because I reported several messages as spam in less than 80 seconds.

But it's a bit disheartening that apparently some bots can get through the registration form. I wouldn't have thought it likely when you see it.

The new version doesn't have the custom registration form anymore. I thought CleanTalk would be enough, but apparently not!

CleanTalk now lets me post and even perform moderation, but it won't let me use search when I'm on VPN.
