As of either yesterday or maybe the day before, I've had issues connecting to lemmy.ml from VPN servers (Proton VPN) that are hosted in Finland. I was able to reach the website from some other countries' servers.

I've been too tired to do some testing before, so I did some today. I tested a few countries that are somewhat close to me:

Work: Sweden, Estonia, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany

Don't work: Finland, Norway, Russia

Didn't test other countries yet, but maybe this will be enough to investigate the issue.

That’s surprising. AFAIK, lemmy.ml doesn’t intentionally block any VPNs, though I don’t sysadmin it, so I don’t know for sure.

I doubt it matters, but lemmy.ml is hosted in France.

i switched to france and my discord stopped working lol.

maybe it's something on proton's side.

germany still works for both lemmy.ml and discord, sweden stopped working with .ml
