I’m in the US. It varies widely. I think what happens sometimes, is we get caught up in anti-abuse lists. Sites see legit abuse coming from VPN IPs. After that happens enough, those IPs end up on anti-abuse filters. Then those blocklists are used by some sites, and not othrs, so some sites won’t work. There are also whole countries who block VPN now for social control. And others who talk about blocking them soon. That’s not the case where I live. But there are still many individual sites that use blocklists. There are also more sites using identity resolution services now. If the identity service can’t pin you to a human real life person, it increases your block score. If your block score is high enough, you get , um, blocked.
