It seems my friend is using a proxy to make my forum publicly accessible. Is there any way to prevent this?

Make the forum 100% private and ban any account that is obviously visiting every topic. I’m sure you could take legal action but you might need a lot of money.

Your “friend”? Ask them to stop it. Ban whatever user account they are using to copy it? You can probably detect that.

Understood. I will advise my friend to cease this activity. However, is there a recourse should others be replicating the forum without our knowledge?

Thank you very much. I will take it into consideration.
