I haven’t had any problems upvoting or accessing lemmy content, but yesterday, whenever I tried leaving a comment on a post, I triggered a 403 error (both from the Mlem app and my browser) which identified the use of VPN as an issue. Once I disabled my VPN, I was able to post the comment.
Now, while trying to make this post, I am experiencing errors too.
Has anyone else experienced this, and have you found work arounds?

I think it depends on which community (instance) you’re trying to post. Some instances are blocking VPNs, e.g. lemmy.world. I assume you’ve already tried but try switching to a different VPN server.

Gotcha, thanks for the info!
