I found this to be an interesting watch in layering security/ privacy rather than throwing the hail mary at a VPN and expecting it to keep you anonymous.

The issue with me lately is more and more sites actively blocking connections from VPNs. I’m not sure what to do about that.
There are a small minority of sites I encounter that do that. Usually I will try a couple different VPN locations. If that doesn’t work, I just search for the data somewhere else. I know that doesn’t work for everyone. I also encounter a lot of ‘Verification’ checks. They are kind of anoying but I figure, I’d rather that than just having my data hanging out in the ether unprotected.
Maybe masking VPNs ? Is that even a possibility? Like how people can mask something as Chrome already.
AFAIK it’s the IPs of the VPN server that gets flagged in these cases. Not sure how that could be masked, it would probably basically just be using a different VPN server
Mullvad has a few obfuscation techniques with a new one that just came out. I’m curious if they’ll help in this application
Use the tor browser in conjunction with your VPN. The tor exit nodes aren’t flagged.
Depends on the site. Sadly, I see “Forbidden” all too often via Tor as well.
I’m not discouraging Tor use of course; just pointing out many sites block the Tor network as well.
