Adding Custom Fields to Devise

Adding Custom Fields to Devise

Before doing anything, please check the versions of the gem files:

gem 'rails', '~> 5.1.4'
gem 'devise', '~> 4.4.0'

Disclaimer - This solution may not work with older versions of rails and devise. Versions listed above were the latest versions of gems which I was using at the time of creation and tests. (10 Jan 2018)

Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
