StartPage also blocks VPN usage.

Only accidental I think. They have the option of reporting that you're behind a VPN proxy when it happens.

Using mullvad I have to always come back to a specific country that I used a lot couple months ago

I still get it very occasionally with Proton VPN.

[-] Anamana@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

For me it was way worse a year ago. I would get blocked all the time, now it rarely ever happens.

I do agree, it used to be a lot worse. I switched away from StartPage for a while because it was so frequent.
