Ask HN: Is HN Blocking Mullvad VPN?
I've noticed over the last ~week that if I try to navigate to HN without active logged in session that I am often blocked from resolving the site, instead seeing a "sorry" page.
Seems to be more a desktop issue than when I've tried to reproduce on my phone with the same VPN.
Is this a blanket VPN thing or something specific about Mullvad connection points?

Probably just a bad exit IP. VPN addresses get abused a lot. I would switch nodes before assuming HN blocks Mullvad.
I'm using mullvad without issues. Switch exit point, or send and email to the HN email address and you'll get a link you can use to manuallly unblock your current IP address you use. Maybe there's too many users with the same exit point.
I'm getting in fine.
