Vpn block...
What?
It was mentioned in OP’s post: Startpage tends to block those coming in from VPNs.
You’re right, I’ve totally read over it. Sorry :) Can’t imagine a VPN is blocking it as I use it all the time, with and without a VPN. Maybe it’s your VPN provider?
Same. Changing servers or even just the query tends to work, but most of the times there's an option to fill a short "VPN form", solve a captcha, and it works again. So this tells me they're mostly interested in blocking automated traffic.
Why wpuld they do that? Unless they want to track you...
I'm using nord and ive not faced that issue yet
