        @sfooter Yep, sites may decide to block access from those using a VPN.

            @sfooter There are several ways websites can detect that a VPN is in use. When you visit any website, your computer sends header data with your IP address attached to each of multiple transmitted data packets so that the site can respond with its own data back to your correct address on the Internet. A VPN inserts itself into that data path so that a website is led to believe your data is coming from their IP address instead of yours; returning data packets from the website are routed by the VPN back to you at your IP address.

            One common method a website can use for blocking VPNs is to simply identify the IP addresses employed by various commonly-used VPNs and block them. Other methods involve coding their websites in ways that the VPN can't directly (or correctly) respond to, and block them as a result.

            While some VPNs may be better able to bypass a given website's "VPN sniffing" techniques, it's hard to predict specific results without knowing details of exactly how a particular VPN operates or a target website does its sniffing. The tendency seems to be that the simplest VPNs are more susceptible to being rejected by a website, but in any case, a website (or even a national censorship "firewall") that is sufficiently determined will always find ways to block a VPN. All you can really do is try some other VPNs and see what happens... or else find another website that offers similar content without blocking.
