Hello all!
I have been using Malewarebytes for years now. But only recently started using their VPN service. While I do like it and use it everyday. I am tired of having to pause the VPN to get on certain sites (like Michaels, USPS, etc.). I just keep getting blocked because I’m using a VPN. Is there a way to bypass this? And not have to disconnect from my VPN?
Hello, Malwarebytes Support team. I’m afraid that if the site directly blocks the usage of VPN or encrypted traffic, there is no way to prevent this; disabling the VPN is required as the site is preventing the connection on their end.
Using a VPN can sometimes lead to websites blocking your access because they detect that you’re using a VPN IP address. By implementing these strategies, you can increase your chances of accessing websites without being blocked while using a VPN. Remember that the effectiveness of these methods can vary depending on the website and the VPN provider.
Honestly, there’s no complete way to prevent it, but I do have a VPN with a dedicated IP, which reduces blocking by about 90-100%. I rarely get blocked, but you do need to pay extra for the dedicated IP.
The problem is that sites blocking the use of VPN is now the norm so what is the point of having Malwarebytes VPN is there no way around that? Seems to me that there should be a way to keep your data packets safe and encrypted while access the WWW. Any alternatives you can suggest?
How do you get the dedicated IP?
Some vpn providers sell it like nord vpn and surfshark vpn.
