Is this possible? I have posted a few torrents and they have been well received by the community; most are my own created torrents as I post JAV from many years ago and no torrents are available; and some from other sites of movies that caught my eye.

However, safety is a growing concern for me to continue posting. I've tried VPNs but this site is blocked. When I use an Unblock Akiba-Online site, I cannot post anything but the header. So my questions are:

1. What and how do other posters do about this blockage?

2. Do they post by exposing their IP address?

3. What is the most common method that posters use?

Help would be appreciated. I'd like to continue sharing but not if I am endangered by it. Thanks in advance.

i'm not aware that we are blocking any IPs. (even the whole tor-network has access without any cloudflare-shitty-site)

if s.o. is blocking you to enter this site, it's a problem at your VPNs site and we probably can't do anything about this.
can you please tell me the name of your provider?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I can access this site, obviously, from an unprotected connection; I use Verizon Fios. I dropped my VPN service which was Hide.me because it also blocked me from going to ESPN, NBA.com and other sites that are innocuous and non-controversial. So, I will try with another VPN service until I can access this site without blockage and I can post anonymously. Btw, here is the link to the Unblock Akiba-Online, so there must be some kind of blockage maybe not on your part but by other services.

Thanks again for your reply. I will try another VPN service and get back to you. I'm finding there's a bit of a learning curve here. :)

I know that the Ukraine and Russian Exit nodes blocks this site. Indonesia, Korea and probably China would block this site. Not sure about Malaysia but that is a distinct possibility (this is where Hide.me is located by the way). Most Middle Eastern countries block porn sites (which this would classify as....because there is a lot of porn here).

Germany blocks violent sites but not AO. Drives me crazy they block MMA sites. Everyone wants to control what you have access to.... it is annoying.

Hide.me gets good reviews but the free plan is pretty limited apparently, while the premium plan is a bit pricey. With the free plan one of the servers is located in Singapore which might block AO but you should also have access to a Canadian and Netherlands server which are very unlikely to block AO. In truth I am perplexed as to the true problem you were having unless you were only given access to the one server.

VPNs' are the safest way to torrent, as long as they don't keep logs. Free plans tend to be slow though. Check Torrentfreak for good ones. Not all people use VPNs though and just hide in the swarm. Most countries aren't knocking on doors to see who torrents what (unless it is highly illegal shit, which won't be found here anyway). Even Japan hasn't made any bittorrent arrests that I am aware of, though they have made P2P arrests (some older application I believe). So it depends on where you are and what the laws actually are. In many countries, I wouldn't even bother using a VPN for torrenting JAV.

By the way COOLzero Cloudflare has changed their captcha and it (at the moment) is really not that bad and easy to solve even without javascript. Not sure when they made the change, it has been a few months I suppose, or why the captcha is more difficult for some sites than others (the captcha at whosis is a pain-in-the-arse).

Thank you for this information, Ceewan. It is much appreciated. I got Total VPN and it was 10 times easier to get set up, didn't even have to mess with the Network panel in my Mac, it set up automatically. So, let the posting begin. Thanks again.

With Total VPN, problem solved. Thanks again.
