Hi all,
I have VPN turned on on my phone all the time.
To be able to post anything, including to comment, I need to turn off the VPN. To be honest, I'm quite conflicted by this.
Any reason why this is or what to do about it besides turning off the VPN?
I'm using Voyager as a client.
Edit: it seems like the instance is the issue. Moving here from Reddit it's not as simple as j would have thought. Also, VPNs are essential, no VPN is no go for me.
Case closed.
I had the same problem when I was on lemmy.world. now I'm on this other instance dbzero and it's mostly smooth except for sometimes things glitch so I turn off my VPN to troubleshoot and then it works for a while, especially some thumbnail pictures won't load in the post with my VPN on, but lately I've been too lazy to toggle my VPN off, I usually just give up on posts when the photo won't load.
I've had the same experience.
The problem is always with posts done on a specific instance, so it's probably still instance related, maybe the pictures on posts in that instance not being passed around as pictures but rather as a link back to that instance and it's the instance that is blocking some VPN exit points (which is why sometimes if you reconnect the VPN it fixes - reconnecting usually changes the exit point and only some exit points are blocked).
