One funny thing, thia exact thing happened me when posting my comment xD

I have the same issue and same software. However, Lemmy hosting webservers need to have some ‘malicious activity protections’ and if too much malicious activity occur from the same origin of IP where you are exiting from, you won’t be able to post a comment.

I use Mullvad. All I have to do is to reconnect to a different exitpoint (can still be within the same country). And then attempt to post again. Might take a couple of tries, but it will work :)

If you don’t want to reconnect, read up if you can configure your VPN to use the SOCKS5 protocol. Easier to not get blocked or “are you a bot?” Captchas and so on.

Love Mullvad. Used for years and they’ve been raided, twice, by cops. No data was given to the cops and they had to return the hardware. Win win in my book!

That… Sounds AMAZING. thank you! You’re the winner ;D
