VPN triggering website security measures?

Postado: 27-out-2021 | 9:55PM · 3 Respostas · · Translation:

For the past 2 days on my iPhone, I’ve been getting slammed with incessant Google search engine captchas telling me that there’s unusual network activity every time I go there to search, and I just got this rather ugly error message from GameSpot gamer tips forum, when trying to access the site: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable Due to constant abuse from your current hosting service, all interactive traffic is blocked. If you are running a legitimate crawler/robot, please ensure that it properly identifies itself via the user agent with a contact site or email address. If you are a living human being, please disable your VPN/proxy server to continue, and we strongly recommend a different service than the one you are currently using. …basically ordering me to change VPN service providers from Norton. Anyone know what’s causing this? I can’t tell if it’s Norton VPN or new/updated iOS features, or what.

Many web sites do not allow access from known VPN IP addresses. They do this for copyright, legal, and political reasons. There is nothing a VPN provider can or should do to circumvent these legal protections. 

So the web sites you are having difficulty with are just trying to help protect your account from hackers. With the VPN active the site sees a login attempt from a location they do not expect. Thus the extra steps necessary, or getting blocked altogether.

Wrong. I’ve been accessing it fine since January using Norton 360 and Norton VPN without any problems until this week.

You say this started 2 days ago. Did this coincide with an upgrade in your iOS version.  iOS 15.1 was just released around that time.

A few things to check

  • Do you have multiple browsers on your device to see if it is all browsers or just one specific browser
  • Is this happening at home, or home and away? If at home, try power cycling your router. 
  • Have you ensured that your VPN feature in 360 is turned off in the VPN section of the main interface?
  • Try disabling Web Protection in your 360 to see if you can connect.
