Hello team

I have installed a VPN from a reputed provider and it is loading at startup. Can anyone here explain why the access through a VPN is blocked on this forum?

Thanks

Because it is very common for both VPN providers and also Spammers / SEO Spammers to spin up a VM and proxy their connection through a host.

Without diving into more details (it really isn’t my space to explain) many VPN and hosting services are blocked.

thanks @michaelmurfy

This is unfortunate though understandable as GZ needs to take care of it. Oh well, an extra step, can be done.
