I haven’t been able to post anything for the last two days. I don’t know if I was banned for a bit or not since I received no notice or warning.

If it wasn’t a ban what happened?

    I cant post if I have protonvpn running, or at least if Im connected to certain proton servers. It could be along those lines - whatever IP you were coming from might be blocked, probably via cloudflare?

      I have surfshark but I only run it when I’m torrenting. (since that’s all VPN’s are pretty much good for nowadays.)

        VPNs are very useful for many different purposes, just nothing (except torrenting) which you need.

          List them. 90% of websites I visit have either reduced features (ie; can’t post or comment) or completely block any access to them when using a VPN.

            I don’t think I’ve ever had that issue except for some streaming stuff.

            You can search online instead of demanding I list reasons.

              You’re the one who made the argument that there were plenty of uses. The onus is on you to back up your suppositions. Not me.
