I’ve been noticing over la last few years that is is becoming more and more difficult to login to accounts, whether a bank account, a membership account, sometimes even browsing websites for shopping, through my VPN server. Is this just my impression or is there something going on now whereby there are services that keep list of VPN servers that are then sold to backs so that these parties can keep out anyone from trying to login via a VPN. It feels like the general consensus is VPN=malicious rather than "VPN=“this guy is just trying to protect his privacy”. I use AIRVPN but was wondering if there are VPN services that are more sophisticate and try to circumvent these VPN server blocks? It becoming a real pain to the point I’m wondering what it the point of paying fro a VPN is I’m finding myself having to login through my ISP IP rather than my VPN IP.

It’s how Tor works. You have to publish your relay’s address or else other relays can’t find you. You can host a private/hidden guard node, but not an exit or relay.
