View Full Version : Is it just me or is HMA not working anymore

I used to use a VPN service HMA for hosting my games. About 8 months ago, it stopped working. Their tech support said some of the servers they use are now blocking certain ports. Basically told me to go pound sand.

Does anyone use HMA for a VPN solution and is using a server that works?

Thanks in advance.

Hamachi and PureVPN (with dedicated IP) are the only two that I know of are regularly used with success.

Seems like HMA might have made a change a few months ago from dedicated ip addresses that might be causing it to stop working for you.

Yep, HMa have gone to a shared IP model, so you're not going to be able to use it reliably/at all for Fantasy Grounds anymore. :(

I'd ask for a refund for the remainder of your subscription - hopefully they won't tell you to pound sand again...
