Hello community. As you all know, multiple accounts are a real scourge on VF. At the origin of multiple ways to cheat, these accounts are regularly tracked by some of us for the good of the community. A VPN is a way to hide your IP address when connecting. Why hide this information except to cheat? I would like to know if it was possible to prohibit in one way or another the connection to VF via a VPN? Aymeric, would that be technically and legally applicable? Thank you Julien

The answer is no, it is not possible.

From people who have an iptv to hide 😂

Or just put a line in the script to disallow connections via vpn....

And we will find that we have half of active members who physically exist. 🤣

Admin tools are already able to determine if a manager is using a VPN, but this fact alone is not enough to constitute an infraction. This information is used when it is combined with other suspicious behaviors, which involve using a VPN to try to "fly under the radar".

Is it an offence to have multiple accounts using a VPN?

Yes it is an offense but difficult to trace. If there are strong suspicions about shady and repetitive transfers, if both accounts connect via a VPN to hide their IP, it can validate the suspicion of cheating.

I'm here to bring my little pebble. To make it short: GDPR. Any data collection must be justified, proportionate and transparent. This does not only concern digital environments. Writing down on a sheet of paper the first and last names of employees who pay attention to labor law in your company can quickly constitute a violation of the GDPR. *** To make it shorter: If you implement technical measures on a web server - and there are some, despite those who claim otherwise - you have an interest in having solid arguments to justify their compliance with the GDPR to the CNIL, especially in the absence of an impact analysis relating to data protection. The risk of multiple accounts on a browser game is probably not one of the valid arguments to oppose to the CNIL, but I'm getting ahead of myself. ^^ If you ever couple these measures with the implementation of a browser fingerprint (which, for example, allows you to certify 99% that it is you who is visiting the dirty site, despite your VPN "protection"), it will be enough to rely on the GDPR during a complaint to the CNIL to demolish you, because you are building a file from personal data. Without respecting the principles of proportionality or transparency, since you are collecting more data than necessary without informing the user. You could set up a data processing project compliant with the GDPR, but it is a colossal task. And even then, you will have holes in the racket, for multiple reasons. And I will not mention the implementation and operating costs. The solution is elsewhere (I do not have it). PS: I am not well-versed enough on the data protection part, if a DPO passes by here, do not hesitate to yell and then correct me. :p

It would be interesting to do the test over a week... a French version without a VPN... strangely the game's attendance would be lower I think...

For me, it's a no! Corporate VPNs are not deactivatable and I would like to be able to continue going to the office to pretend to work while I manage my matches on VF! :D

Yes, we do not rule out banning VPNs if we notice too many multis, but we are clearly not there yet. And indeed, we will recruit admins, if after consultation with the team we consider that the workforce will no longer allow us to optimally manage the workload, following Demi's departure.

Just look here to realize that there is a big problem. #search?club=1&login=&nom=&nation=&niveau=&niveau_sup=1&new=1 The number of foreign clubs created compared to French clubs.. And especially waves of 2/3 clubs per country then hop another country. Knowing that 3/4 of the clubs created only connect once. After that it is perhaps clubs created directly by the game, to feed this new arrival of cheated players with 50 potential
