same, from Western Europe . Pretty annoying, to be honest. I need VPN for a few other sites, and am now forced to constantly switch VPN on and off. Not aware of any other site that malfunctions when VPN is on (I don’t use it to circumvent streaming restrictions, so not sure about that), and I don’t really see why FT would care if I am on a VPN (but perhaps that is covered earlier in this thread).
