Is there already documented tech guidance for users who connect to WMM using a VPN? Is it possible that the servers used for the WMM site have disabled the network protocols associated with VPN?
As of yesterday (Apr 4, 2022), I started connecting to the Web through ExpressVPN for the first time. Today, I've begun making adjustments to that VPN connection. I need to do that because the VPN is causing 'glitchy' connections for some of my accounts & websites. If someone has already worked through this problem for the WMM site, maybe I can learn from them. Hope so!
[list][b]Tech Detail:[/b] When I enable either the network protocol [b]'Lightway UDP'[/b] or [b]'Lightway TCP'[/b] (proprietary to ExpressVPN) both deliver an unreliable connection to my WMM account. Additionally, when I enable either the network protocol 'OpenVPN - UDP' or 'OpenVPN - TCP', they also deliver an unreliable connection.
[b]Problem Symptom:[/b] Attempts to submit forum postings fail. When I go to the forums it acts as though I'm logged out. To submit this posting, I needed to switch-off VPN temporarily.[/list:u]
Is there any tech guidance already available on the topic? Is it necessary for WMM to enable a new/additional network protocol on their servers?
