We have improved our duplicate IP detection system, and going forward Rule 1.2 will be more strictly enforced.

 

We have found a large number of members that are using a VPN, that is not reported (or they've not updated their authorized VPN), and as a result have duplicated the IPs of other members. 
We are giving members 2 weeks to review and report/ update their VPN authorization with us, to ensure they're in compliance with Rule 1.2

 

You can check if you have reported a VPN by checking your User Profile page - VPN.
If it has VPN Registration Confirmed X date, you've reported your VPN. If you did so via ticket (rather than on joining), you can check your Staff Tickets to check which provider you have registered.
If it has Not Registered/Authorized, you have not reported your VPN.

 

A registered VPN means you may use it here, not that you must always use it.

 

You can report a VPN via a ticket

 

Only Traditional VPNs, that are their own tunnel, can be registered.  Not a Plugin/Extension/Proxy/Browser only Feature.

You cannot use: Apple iCloud Private Relay, Opera's Free VPN, Firefox's free browser VPN, etc.

 

PIA, Express VPN, or other VPNs without semi stable IPs:

MaM automatically disables tracker access if you get too many tracker errors - as this puts strain on the tracker. PIA and ExpressVPN have services that don't work well here.

 

Private Internet Access/ PIA

Private Internet Access (PIA) have started rotating IPs. This often means your IP is not stable long enough to be used here and you'll get Unrecognized Host/ Passkey errors. 
We have created a page here that can help you find a good server, however the number of good servers, that don't rotate, is decreasing quickly. It's unlikely to work on MaM long term.
We suggest either getting a dedicated IP with them, or changing VPN providers. 

 

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN rotates IP's on each connection. They are not stable enough to be used on MaM, unless you have their Dedicated IP option.

Has anybody recently been invited into NBL from the GGn official recruitment thread? I applied around 3 weeks ago and there is no response from the recruiter yet. Any idea how long the NBL recruiter takes to send the invite? Appreciate any response. Thank you.

Good day to all. I am looking for some guidance here. I am currently building my profile in the PT world. I have 24x7 PC running with access to 8TB external HDD (no access to seedbox). I enjoy long term seeding of the torrents and I am not experienced in uploading new torrents or cross seeding. I am currently having a option to join AR, NBL and ANT and I wanted to join in only one among them that provides me a relatively easier path to the official recruitment forum considering my situation (long term seeding with no seedbox). I reviewed the official recruitment forum unlock requirements of these 3 trackers and not able to decide. I learned that you cannot buy upload credits in NBL using the seed bonus and the seedbonus mechanism in AR is pretty complex (difficult to reach the required upload without a seedbox). No idea about buying upload using seedbonus in ANT. I appreciate any guidance from folks on this.
