Basically the subject is in title. I recently discovered lemmy.world doesn’t allow commenting/posting from VPNs. Some VPNs are working, but it seems to be a matter of time until they appear on publicly sourced lists and banned.

    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.

      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
