OK I have done that I'm also noticing now that some locations will work for a time and then stop, and then start working again some minutes later. A few minutes ago, servers in Paris, Amsterdam, and London all worked, then all gave errors, then all started working again. could this be a flood prevention thing, where it sees too much activity per minute from the same IP so it temp-blocks it?

would you be up for un-banning these IP addresses? they're likely to be affecting quite a lot of people and, equally, whoever was being naughty resulting in these addresses being blocked isn't themselves being blocked if they can just change VPN location the same way I did. happy to provide a list of IPs.

This is what happens when I visit forums.nexusmods.com with my VPN enabled It really doesn't look to me like the result of improper settings on Firefox or ExpressVPN - it's not that the page isn't loading, the page is loading correctly but with an error generated by the forum software, which has decided not to show me the forums I tried several locations on my VPN, all the UK ones produced the same result, but when I tried a location in Germany it actually worked fine. So I'm going to suggest there's some IP-based blocking going on, as the only thing I'm changing is my IP and this determines whether or not the forum loads correctly or not.

This forum is completely inaccessible when I use my VPN. I normally use my VPN 100% of the time, because I live in the UK and our government watches and records absolutely everything we do online, holding all data for a year. I prefer privacy, so I use a VPN. Anyway. When I use the VPN (ExpressVPN, a popular provider) this forum is completely blocked, giving a permissions error on every single page including: my own profile/settings pages, the "log out" button also results in a permissions error, and even the "help" link that it offers me when it gives the permissions error, this help page also then results in the same error. Basically every page of the whole forum is blocked, and it's not very helpful. Perhaps this could be changed? VPNs are becoming more and more popular nowadays and it doesn't seem to make sense to block huge numbers of ordinary users this way.
