At this point, I'm not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.
You're viewing a single thread.
How can they distinguish VPN users? I'm guessing it's a IP blocklist.
Lol it's simple just watch for a shit ton of traffic from single ip addresses.
They appear to also have blocklists independent of "shit ton of traffic." I have a VPN to my VPS (Oracle), which has a public IP (and I'm the only user). I also get whoa pardner'd when going through that VPN.
Perhaps I fall into the "we don't want other people scraping our site unless they pay" category though. I would make sense to just block off all VPS/cloud IP blocks (e.g., AWS, Azure, Oracle, Google Cloud...).
Exactly that, I wohld assume. I could still get on with a VPN IP from some 3rd world countries over Western countries but even those are now failing.
