Thanks @Daniel F, yes, my community language is in French, I did a Google translate for you guys 🙂
No, my IP is not showing under the Ban column...
So just to make it clear:
When my VPN is ON (whatever IP, country...), I can access my forums.
When the VPN is OFF, I'm locked out (and it does not even ask to log in, no action can be taken on the page as you see).
