In case anyone at IB thinks this is not affecting their bottom line:

I used to be extremely active on this forum. Multiple posts per day, several hours per week (sometimes multiple hours per day). You can check my history from 3-4 years ago. With some changes in my life came the need to start using a VPN most of the time (particularly while traveling, which I hear most of us on this site do very regularly). The inability to access your website using a paid VPN means I just plain don't visit anymore. (Turning a VPN on and off randomly completely destroys the security that it provides, so that's not an option.)

This is the only website that blocks my VPN (Nord). There's not a single other website that gives me any issues at all, and I go to a lot of them. This needs to be fixed.
