Flyertalk and Commerical VPNs
I use Speedify to reduce my data consumption on my cellular data. It blends the less than optimal hotel internet and pay by the gig FI LTE. I noticed today that it wouldn't connect to Flyertalk when VPNed but would over straight LTE or straight hotel internet. Please don't tell me that even Flyertak is using the stupid VPN screening database.
Update: I repeated the experiment three times and confirmed the results. Does anyone who the appropriate person at Flyertalk to scream at. Anyone willing to join me in the "hollering?"

Sometimes when I have my VPN set to NewYork i can't receive FT. I then change it to Seattle. It then loads on my computer. I use Express Vpn it works in all the foreign locations I use.
