Age verification and VPNs

VPNs are the most common reason age verification behaves unexpectedly, in both directions.

You're prompted when you didn't expect to be. Your VPN is placing you in a region that requires verification. If you're required to verify because of where you're actually connecting from, please do complete it — it's a one-time check and takes a couple of minutes.

The verification won't complete. Turn the VPN off and try again. If you rely on a VPN to reach SpicyChat at all, try a UK server, where providers are reliably available.

Once your account is verified it stays verified, regardless of where you connect from afterwards.

If you can't reach SpicyChat without a VPN — which affects users in some regions where local ISPs restrict adult or foreign sites — see article 8.14.
