It appears that Feddit.uk blocks me when I try to access it via VPN. Do we really want to do that? (feddit.uk)

I was just trying to access Feddit.UK via a popular VPN. It looked like the site didn't even exist. Just a gray error page.

I'm not sure this is a good policy.

EDIT: I have clarification from ProtonVPN about what the problem is with accessing Feddit.uk. They have a service called NetShield which blocks IP addresses associated with malware and trackers. There is a false positive for Feddit.uk. Their team is aware of it, and will hopefully fix it. In the meantime, people can access Feddit.uk using ProtonVPN by turning NetShield off. It works for me.

I can access it fine through Mullvad, maybe it's your particular VPN

Sshhh. Don't let them know they need to block Mullvad tunnels too!

But in all seriousness it works for me through Mullvad as well. I wonder what other VPNs they have blocked.

It seems to be a problem with ProtonVPN.
