Hi all,

I have VPN turned on on my phone all the time.

To be able to post anything, including to comment, I need to turn off the VPN. To be honest, I’m quite conflicted by this.

Any reason why this is or what to do about it besides turning off the VPN?

I’m using Voyager as a client.

Edit: it seems like the instance is the issue. Moving here from Reddit it’s not as simple as j would have thought. Also, VPNs are essential, no VPN is no go for me.

Case closed.

    I assume some instances have coordinated-attack prevention software that disables traffic from past offender IPs, and VPNs are a common way to centralize and anonymize data. Whether malicious in intent or not, a strike against your VPN server might cause a blockage.
