As they say, one bad apple spoils the bunch. Unfortunately, it was many bad apples. The use of VPNs allowed for persistent abuse to occur and discouraged our community from growing. We understand this is an inconvenience to some and we completely understand. We would love to have you here with us, but you must disable your VPN/Tor/Proxy service to chat.
If you are on a Mac or iPhone/iPad you may have enabled the apple VPN called "iCloud Private Relay"
To disable it only on our website, be on a MenChats.com page, then:
iPhone or iPad: Tap the Page Settings button, then tap Show IP Address.
Mac: In Safari, choose View > Reload and Show IP Address.
Your browser may have a built in proxy/VPN. Be sure to search for this possibility and how you may be able to disable it.
Some school/university networks may also appear as a VPN/proxy. You may want to consider connecting via your mobile phone or use your phone's tethering feature to connect.
Our VPN/proxy filtering provider does not allow us to add or remove IP addresses from their worldwide listing so we are unable to make exceptions, we apologize.
We may be able to point you in a better direction if you contact us and include your IPv4 address. Collect it here.
