Does BYC block users with VPN? I cannot log seem to login to BYC with VPN on

I wouldn't know other than the fact that a lot of us have a VPN and don't have issues logging in. Can you check with the VPN you're using to see if they have blocking within it?

Not intentionally, and we know others are using VPN's without issue.

I use my VPN and have no issues with this site

Sometimes a particular server will be blocked, when that happens, just swap a couple times until it behaves again. I don't do anything on the internet without being connected to a VPN anymore.

There is a lot of anti-spam automation in place on the backends of many sites, often out of the site owner's control. Spammers and the anti-spam protections are always in a cat and mouse game of detection and implementation of new strategies to get around them.

Sometimes a VPN provider's servers will get abused by spammers or obnoxious sorts and they need to junk an IP, but it can take a little bit for them to detect and get around to refreshing it. There's also automatic systems in place for that, but it being scheduled can also end up delaying it, etc.

I use VPN. Some of the servers are blocked, some are not. On the one I use, the higher numbers on the server (over approx 150) are not blocked. But the lower numbers are. I do not know why.

Thank you guys for the response. I will try switching servers if it happens again.
