Any well-established Lemmy instances that publicly allow posting from VPNs?

@delirious_owl@discuss.online

I only use VPNs over here. Honestly I think this is probably only an issue on Lemmy.world and nowhere else

@communism@lemmy.ml

I’ve been on Mullvad with lemmy.ml and never had problems.

@BelatedPeacock@lemmy.world

On VPN + Lemmy.World now, no issues yet

@lemmeBe@sh.itjust.works

sh.itjust.works just works with Mullvad VPN. 😉

@eleitl@lemm.ee

Ditto lemm.ee

VPN issue usage is big tech issue tbh. They don’t like it, find another instance but also note that VPN does not really provide privacy etc it is just part of better set up.

Corps don’t like it BC they can’t farm you as easily

@KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world

Posted through a Proton connection, what’s your VPN? As others have stated this is likely not .world directly, but rather a symptom of Cloudflare (DDoS) protections.

@Tellore@lemmy.world

I also use Proton VPN. Most issues were with DE servers I tried, multiple DE servers (like DE#526) didn’t work for me, but some others seem to be working. I also tried some other countries and they were working.

@ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Maybe some spammer just got those IPs blacklisted or something.

Have never had a problem using a VPN with programming.dev

Gross.

Not Lemmy, but mbin instance fedia.io doesn’t have any of that nonsense.

@FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com

come to db0, friend.

@harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I’ve never had an issue and I run Mullvad pretty much 24/7 and routinely change servers.

@finestnothing@lemmy.world

I occasionally have issues with posting comments on proton VPN, but it’s inconsistent

It’s likely Cloudflare related. Some of the larger instances are behind that, but many of the smaller ones aren’t. Cloudflare isn’t only a problem for VPN users, so its a good idea to avoid those instances as a user. You can still interact with their communities via Federation.

@Tellore@lemmy.world

I got 401 from lemmy.world with the following response payload:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Posting & Uploading blocked from VPN/Tor"
  }
}

PS: yeah, I know it says it’s 403 in payload, but in response it’s 401

Lemmy.ca and Sopuli both worked fine on ProtonVPN, and .ca also seems to be fine on Mullvad.

We don’t have any particular anti VPN rules, nor have I heard any complaints from users about cloudflare blocking them.

@0x0@programming.dev

Is programming.dev behind CloudFlare?

@viking@infosec.pub

I’m using a VPN almost permanently, never had any issues there.

Are you sure it’s lemmy.world and not cloudflare or something?

@Tellore@lemmy.world

Yes, this is response payload it gives when hitting “Reply” or “Post” from certain VPNs:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Posting & Uploading blocked from VPN/Tor"
  }
}

Lmao

@0x0@programming.dev

So VPNs and Tor… how interesting… do they block I2P too?

@Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com

i2p doesn’t really have exit nodes, it’s mostly for i2p internal connections.
The only exit I know is stormycloud.i2p, and that one is somehow immensely limited ro the point of it being hard to load clear-net text pages.

@viking@infosec.pub

Wow, that’s quite something. Hopefully a temporary thing due to spam issues or so…

@mipadaitu@lemmy.world

Been using a VPN since the start, never had a problem posting.
