EDIT: Thank you all for your help, I guess I’ll have to keep changing location, filling captcha and occasionally allow an exception. Keeping ones internet activity even remotely private requires effort, even with good tools.
Hi,
After reading time and again about how Mullvad VPN is the best VPN out there, I decided to give it a try and got myself an account & credit for a month worth of trial.
However after a couple days of use on my mobile (I also use Mullvad Browser), I’m getting bounced from many mainstream website.
Is this normal? Any settings I should adjust?
Cheers

You’ll find that with any major VPN. The IP addresses they use to proxy your traffic eventually get flagged and blocked by lots of major players. Which is why VPN companies cycle through them quite often. As others have said, you’ll either need to switch servers (and thus ips) or figure out another path.
I don’t use mull but most have a way to exclude a given url or site from the tunnel if you need it. i.e. the site will work for you but it’s coming from your own IP and unencrypted.
Express VPN is pretty good at not getting blocked but you pay a fair premium for their service.
