Reddit started yesterday and users said it was to fight shared IP like VPNs. Fuck that. Yesterday and today.
Walmart kept ke verifying by pressing and holding a button every time is earched something or tried to log in. Today
Taco bell kept returning with errors and not letting me finalize my purchaese today.
This is frustrating as all hell and I'm not turning off my VPN. Period.
Anyone else experiencing this?
It can also depend on the server you choose, so try more than one. Amazon will block me from the US based IP addresses that my VPN provider uses but not the Mexican IP.
Some of it is just blocking specific IPs because botters will use those IPs to try and automate certain forbidden actions, and in other cases the site is just trying to block all VPNs period, or trying to block content by region.
It's no different than if a website tried to IP ban you. I can say that at least with my VPN provider, I have no issue connecting to reddit (although why would I want to?), and I have no issues with Walmart either.
Ironically, Taco Bell will block me from my Mexican IP but will allow me to connect from a US IP. :P
That makes sense.
