You signed up just to confirm it is blocked by FT?

Oddly I am currently logged in via a ProtonVPN gateway in US-WA and it obviously works.

Which one? There are lots!

Yup, I think it was #22 since I was still connected to it yesterday when I checked. But it's no longer working with that server. I tried a bunch of other WA-based ones, and they are all blocked. Too lazy to try them all.

Edit: oddly, #22 now works again with FT.

I really don't have the time to try every one of them to figure out which one works. I really wonder if each of those servers have its own unique IP address?

Don`t want to get too technical here but the filtering here is probably done at the ASN level (Autonomous System Number) which is a higher level protocol than IP addresses. Let's you block many addresses efficiently

I was in 2 different Hiltons on two different Seychelles islands last week both the hotels internet was not getting access to FT, giving me the following error page. Other sites that I accessed were fine. This was with my laptop not using any VPN. I assume Hilton was employing some VPN that FT/Cloudflare did not like

using windscribe changed the error, but I was still unable to gain access. I was just looking to waste a bit of time and so did not investigate any further if using different windscribe servers would allow access.

With Nord VPN from Mexico I get blocked some of the time but if I set Seattle as my location, I usually get through. Now don't block me please.

The NordVPN Chicago gateway works on FT.

It might not be the best idea to announce mass-use servers that don't trigger Cloudflare's sensitivities (yet) on the public internet.

Actually I have found that most of the NordVPN gateway cities in North America seem to work. At least those that I have tried.

I suppose it was only a matter of time, but I've noticed a significant uptick in posts by bots during the past several months, e.g.

My life experience is to use different VPNs for different reasons. I run my own through a router at my main home in Nevada, and also through my second home in SF. I use Proton for privacy. And two different work VPNs for GFW and not GFW content. The two from my routers seem the most acceptable to FT.

GFW = Great Firewall
