VPN ip ban

So I use Proton VPN from Google play on a Chromebook, and whenever I try to go to certain pages, or login to my account it says that the ip address is banned. When I turn the VPN off everything works just fine. Is there a way to fix this without disabling my VPN? Any help is good help.

A user who used the VPN and specifically when on the IP address did something bad enough to lead ST to choose to ban that address entirely. Try switching locations on the VPN and if it still doesn't work then perhaps don't use a VPN on Scratch.

VPN ip ban

you have to switch locate your VPN is connected to. for example if you get IP banned while connected to Japan then all you have to do is switch it to a different country and it should work again.
