As of either yesterday or maybe the day before, I’ve had issues connecting to lemmy.ml from VPN servers (Proton VPN) that are hosted in Finland. I was able to reach the website from some other countries’ servers.
I’ve been too tired to do some testing before, so I did some today. I tested a few countries that are somewhat close to me:
Work: Sweden, Estonia, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany
Don’t work: Finland, Norway, Russia
Didn’t test other countries yet, but maybe this will be enough to investigate the issue.

That’s surprising. AFAIK, lemmy.ml doesn’t intentionally block any VPNs, though I don’t sysadmin it, so I don’t know for sure.
I doubt it matters, but lemmy.ml is hosted in France.
i switched to france and my discord stopped working lol.
maybe it’s something on proton’s side.
germany still works for both lemmy.ml and discord, sweden stopped working with .ml
