Bimmerpost blocking Canadian VPN locations?

Being Canadian my VPN always automatically provides a rotating location in Canada. Since Monday, I have been unable to even access Bimmerpost until I figured it out and manually selected a different Country. Not a big deal but I have to revert back if I want local content. So, whazzup site wizard?

EDIT: This is what I get. It never happened before ever since I've been a member. And it doesn't matter which forum I select.

It hardly makes sense to VPN from the country you are in. Either go straight or choose another (just as you did).

It's IP addresses they mentioned they blocked here: https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/show...4#post30082714. A VPN IP address should be popular and can be compromised. Feel free to try another one from the same country to make sure it's not a country prejudice. Canadians are all around here.

FWIW, my VPN (PIA) works from all five of their Canadian egress gateways (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and two generically in Ontario with no city name).....

Well, it's easy: it must be you then! The nasty spammer who's been down for a short while and just returned (with at least a couple of shitty threads to spam in later) instead of laying off: https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=2108766. What a viper we've warmed on our hairy chest presuming it's a harmless snake hopefully non-venomous!!!

Got another site veto. No big deal, I'll just switch VPN location manually.
