Can’t access Lemmy.ml anymore even after changing servers. Using ProtonVPN everything loads fine suddenly.

    It’s not that Lemmy.ml is blocking Mullvad, it’s that Mullvad is blocking Lemmy. If you’re using the DNS content blockers in the Mullvad app, turn the ‘adult’ filter off. I don’t know why they added Lemmy.ml to that blocklist, but that’s what’s happening.

    Did you try swapping VPN server? VPN providers usually offer many servers and sometimes a bot abuses one leading to it being blocked.

    It works fine for me. When you changed servers, did you also change countries? Sometimes all the servers in a country will claim I am connected when I can’t access anything and changing to a different country fixes the problem.

        I always felt this was the paradox of privacy. Those of us who want privacy but try to contribute in a positive way to a community get caught in the crossfire when the same privacy tools are used by bad faith actors, sometimes individuals, sometimes even nation state influence ops.
