VPNs being blocked for some reason?

Hi - I use a VPN called "VPN Unlimited", and when it is turned on, I get the Bear ERR. Is this intentional or an issue on my end?

The first time it happened I thought ProBoards had gone under LOL. 

Thanks!

Which specific error are you receiving? An IP address may be blocked if a lot of malicious activity comes from that IP address. So, while you may not be doing anything wrong while using that VPN, others may be using it maliciously.

I use a VPN when I travel. Sometimes Proboards blocks my access when I'm using it. I have found that if I switch servers, this often resolves the issue. So I suggest you try some other servers and you may get one that Proboards isn't blocking. Best of luck!

Yup, changing to a server in Argentina fixes it (probably other servers too). The default server it chooses for me is in NY and that one gets blocked.
Problem solved, thanks.
