Can’t access Lemmy.ml anymore even after changing servers. Using ProtonVPN everything loads fine suddenly.

    Did you try swapping VPN server? VPN providers usually offer many servers and sometimes a bot abuses one leading to it being blocked.

    It works fine for me. When you changed servers, did you also change countries? Sometimes all the servers in a country will claim I am connected when I can’t access anything and changing to a different country fixes the problem.

    Lemmy in general blocks posts from vpns which is total bullshit but I can still view with vpn

    Edit: in my experience anyhow. Also added bold for bs

        I always felt this was the paradox of privacy. Those of us who want privacy but try to contribute in a positive way to a community get caught in the crossfire when the same privacy tools are used by bad faith actors, sometimes individuals, sometimes even nation state influence ops.
