    I’ve seen that most commonly with tor, vpns could cause it to.

    Edit: It is not (usually) them deliberately breaking vpns, they block brute force attacks based on public ip instead of a cookie or something.

        Considering that most VPN adresses are linked to suspicious, if not outright illegal, activity, its quite reasonable to assume that they end up on automatic block lists.

            it’s not a “gen” thing. They are still used by bots and scammers and pirates and and well-meaning n00bs who unknowingly abuse the service. They’re just also used for privacy now.
