Basically the subject is in title. I recently discovered lemmy.world doesn’t allow commenting/posting from VPNs. Some VPNs are working, but it seems to be a matter of time until they appear on publicly sourced lists and banned.

    I use a VPN 24/7 and I haven’t had any issues with Lemmy for posting/commenting. I know reddit fully blocks my VPN with some IP addresses unless I use old.reddit, which is part of why I’ve just had it and left.

    It’s likely Cloudflare related. Some of the larger instances are behind that, but many of the smaller ones aren’t. Cloudflare isn’t only a problem for VPN users, so its a good idea to avoid those instances as a user. You can still interact with their communities via Federation.

      I got 401 from lemmy.world with the following response payload:

      {
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Posting & Uploading blocked from VPN/Tor"
  }
}

      PS: yeah, I know it says it’s 403 in payload, but in response it’s 401

    I’m using a VPN almost permanently, never had any issues there.

    Are you sure it’s lemmy.world and not cloudflare or something?

      Yes, this is response payload it gives when hitting “Reply” or “Post” from certain VPNs:

      {
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Posting & Uploading blocked from VPN/Tor"
  }
}

          i2p doesn’t really have exit nodes, it’s mostly for i2p internal connections.
          The only exit I know is stormycloud.i2p, and that one is somehow immensely limited ro the point of it being hard to load clear-net text pages.
