    Hi,
    our backend is only accessible via vpn. Sending a formular from frontend when logged in is no problem. But website visitors get an error by trying to submit a formular. Don’t know what to do! Any suggestions? Thank you for help.

    It is a likely possibility the form submission is using ajax. What forms plugin / code are you using?

    For WP Ajax to work wp-admin/admin-ajax.php needs to be visible from the front end and it sounds like wp-admin had been locked out by your VPN – possible a rule in htaccess to limit to the specific IP if sop ypou need to permit access e.g.

    <Files admin-ajax.php>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Files>

    Alternatively – you could find form plugins ( or code ) forms that does not use ajax submission
