i usually as standard practice use VPN while I'm on the internet. But I noticed recently I am now getting access denied if I try to use VPN while logging onto Renderosity. Is this a recent change? Is there a reason for it? My VPN works fine at all the other 3D stores and major sites, so I'm not sure why it would be excluded here. I use Proton VPN if it matters.

It seems to be only certain locations that are blocked, if i connect via VPN using California, New York, or Florida as my location, the site won't load. I've just noticed this happening on other sites as well, same 3 states. So i'm not gonna bother with a help ticket, I know what is going on, and there is nothing that can be done about it. There is a limited time left for any semblance of privacy on the internet. I don't expect to be on the internet much longer the way things are going. 

If the end point is blocked, it certainly can't be fixed without Renderosity being able to identify those end points.

I've been browsing the website for the past week using a VPN with no issues, so that brings me back to some servers or I.P. pool ranges in the VPN's servers having been blacklisted for one reason or another.  When this happens try changing servers to see if it helps.
