What is this stupid website. Cant open it because they have banned my IP. Why the fuck do they ban MullvadVPN servers?
Surprisingly it’s fine on Tor.
Tor probably can’t carry enough traffic to concern them

The list of tor exit ips is publicly viewable. Some IPS block the entire list contrary to Tor Project’s request not to do exactly that.

Cloudflare can do it at least
The firewall I manage at work blocks tor exit nodes and app traffic at the application layer.
Banned on my VPN, too, good to know I shouldn’t be aggravated at my service.

Some malicious users do use VPNs to send spams and many websites automatically bans these IPs. Normally switching to a different VPN server will resolve the issue.
Try a different server. I’ve never had any issues accessing bleepingcomputer with Mullvad.
