    VPNs are not blocked on Perchance - you should be able to access the site and create/edit/view/use generators (including AI-based ones) regardless of whether or not you’re using a VPN.

    Are you perhaps talking specifically about the comments plugin? If so, yeah it’s unfortunate. I had to disallow VPNs from posting comments because they allow you to switch IPs instantly, which removes any ability for moderation, user-blocking and spam prevention.

    I have ideas about how to remove this constraint (at least partially), but for now my todo list is too long to get to it any time soon.

    Note: If you want to allow comments from VPNs on your own generators, then “one weird trick” (which I should formalize into an actual feature) is to put “feedback” in the channel names. Another trick is to embed Disqus, or some other comments system (or of course create your own comments plugin if you know how to code).
