But someone in Russia or any other global location might have used the NordVPN Kansas City node for bad stuff, such that Cloudflare have it on their list of elevated risk IP addresses. Just remember when using a consumer VPN you're sharing your Internet connection with everyone else who uses the same node. That's why I suggest they are not the security solution that their marketing budgets would have you believe.
