Default VPN issues?

I travel overseas quite often so I use several VPNs. I noticed I can’t access this site (airlinepilotforums dot com) using Express VPN but am able to do it when I use other, less successful VPNs.

I say less successful because in China and some other censor-prone countries most VPNs don’t work very well whereas Express VPN typically works wonders in those countries. Any idea why I can’t access APC using it???

The message I get is:
_______
Error 1005

Access denied
What happened?

The owner of this website (www.airlinepilotforums.com) has banned the autonomous system number (ASN) your IP address is in (206092) from accessing this website.

_______

Why would APC make things more difficult for those of us who extensively travel overseas?

Sites like APC have a lot of automated spam prevention, and VPN's can often trigger that.

I don't think using a VPN will get you blocked in all cases, but if the VPN or address in use has a history of malign behavior the automation will likely block it.

I have the same issue. Our corp pilot shared computers run VPNs. I notice those computers seems to get booted most often. Thanks for the explanation.
