So i use a VPN to protect my information in transit, basically without fail.
(the reason is that I have been the "victim" of identity theft multiple times)
Some sites have an issue with this for some reason, including financial institutions.. which blows my mind.
It slike, I need to expose my traffic and be MORE vulnerable to be trusted..?
For some reason, when i connect to this site through one server, i get the message that my IP has been banned.
But of course, the only IP that the site can see is the VPN server.
I presume that is an automated action based on some prior attack vector that bounced through that server..?
Its easy enough to just connect to a different server, so a ban based on the IP is not going to stop any bad actors anyway..
I just don't understand why
