Solved BYC blocking VPNs?

[tripletfeb]

I have a VPN for personal reasons and usually it's no issue getting onto BYC. But today I got this message and cannot access BYC unless I turn my VPN off. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the details and trouble-shooting. We'll keep an eye on this to see if we can resolve it for all users.

Did it work?

It did, yes. I connected to a different city and now it seems fine. My VPN will connect to whatever city gives me the fastest connection so this site must not have liked Las Vegas but Detroit is fine

This happens to me occasionally. However, when I choose a different server on my VPN provider (Proton), it usually lets me load the site. I just choose a different USA server. Have you tried doing that?

What device are you using? Did you try restarting your device?

I cleared the history, data, cache, restarted the phone and made sure no updates were needed. Still no good. I'm using a Motorola G Power 2022

Doesn't block my VPN. If my VPN doesn't work, I don't go there.

That's strange. I have a VPN on right now and I have never had an issue.

Sometimes, if another user that was also using the same VPN was blocked, they block everybody using that IP on the VPN. Spammers can also use VPNs to make accounts and get IP's blocked.

Try using a new country. Or refresh the IP if that's possible.
