Firstly it works completely fine for me on VPN (using Cloudflare Warp) so you may want to consider changing provider. Perhaps they have IP blocked the VPN endpoints of your provider? Is this acceptable? Only you can decide that for yourself. To me this seems like a perfectly normal thing for a sysadmin to do in the face of constant abuse of any sort of free resource including DDOS and other attacks which frequently come via VPNs. It’s unlikely they are distinguishing read from read/write access because the IP block probably happens upstream of the wiki (that’s how I would implement it personally). Implementing a block like this seems a pretty good indication that they realise it’s not 2008 and are responding to the state of the web today.
