Having to switch off my VPN to read British Expats threads whilst at home is not such a big deal but having to do so when on an hotel open wifi connection is a security risk. Why does BE block connections through VPN?

I have a VPN active all the time on my main machine, frequently switching between two countries, I never have any issues connecting to BE

Interesting. This is with Proton VPN which is my primary provider. I do have a Torguard account so I'll switch and try again.

I'm using Nord VPN; I do have access to Proton VPN, not used it as yet, mine is a free bolt-on to email and cloud storage,

that you get it fixed.

Yep, BE started OK with Torguard. Thanks for your input, I'll contact Proton and get them to sort it out.

There was a time, maybe up to a couple of years ago, when I'd forget to turn off my VPN if I'd used it and BE wouldn't let me in. This would alert me to the fact I'd left it on.

Not been an issue more recently.
