I recently started to use a VPN. At times, I come across a website that is able to detect that I am using a VPN and will deny me access. However, I found that I can override these restrictions by switching to a P2P server.
What is the reason for this?
I think that one of the ways services “recognize” VPN’s is that they recognize the well-known IP ranges used by well-known VPN’s. Possibly using a P2P VPN service, your apparent IP address is the IP address of one of the Peers, not a well-known IP range. What “P2P” service are you using?
This is exactly the case. Of course, if you are using a P2P VPN, someone else is using your IP address to access some service they couldn’t get to from their location.
NordVPN.
Ok, NordVPN offers a range of VPN services, and P2P is just a normal VPN that doesn’t block P2P. The VPN isn’t blocked by the website either because it it i requires a P2P protocol (are you trying to download something?) or because it doesn’t recognize that VPN server.
NordVPN also has some Obfuscated servers, and they might work as well.
