    Like I said, it’s only as vpn friendly as the instance admin wants it to be. It’s not the platform that’s vpn averse, it’s the person/people running it. The admin may or may not have a legit reason for blocking VPNs. Who knows, maybe the instance is being attacked so they temporarily blocked VPNs.

    If it’s your home instance that’s doing it, then you should consider moving to another instance that aligns more to your values.

    Remember that lemmy is not one monolithic structure. User experience will vary from instance to instance. If your instance or an instance you’re visiting is blocking you when on vpn, it’s that instance’s admins who decided to do that. It would be better to ask in their support or meta community.

    If it’s your own home instance and you believe what they’re doing is anti-privacy, then they do not align with your values and you should consider moving to another instance that does.
