VPN Issues
I tried to log on to CF over the weekend and I got a splash page that said my IP address had been blocked because I was using an VPN. If I turned off the VPN, I had no issues using CF. As of Monday, I'm able to log in to CF while on my VPN. Now any images that are hosted on CF are not visible when my VPN is active. Images that are hotlinked in a post are visible even with my VPN on. Is there a reason CF is limiting my access when I'm using a VPN?

Subscribed. I have the same issues sometimes.
Most of the time I can just switch servers to another place in the states (the Dallas one usually works), but not always.
Mine is NordVPN.

I tried changing servers, but I get the same issue no matter what server I use. At home I use ExpressVPN and I get this issue. On my work VPN, I don't have any issues.

This is a new development as of Sunday, and yeah I get it that some people abuse the system. Do you really need to restrict everyone who uses a VPN because some people are idiots?
