That’s probably a page/site rule set by the website owner. Some sites block EU IPs as the costs of complying with GDPR outweigh the gain.

- throwaway290 2y agoI saw GDPR related blockage like literally twice in a few years and I connect from EU IP almost all the time Overload of captcha is not about GDPR... but the issue is strange. @benhurmarcel I would check if there is somebody or some company nearby abusing stuff and you got under the hammer. Maybe unscrupulous VPN company. Using a good VPN can in fact make things better (but will cost money) or if you have a place to put your own all the better. otherwise check if you can change your IP with provider or change providers or move I guess... not to excuse CF racket but as this thread shows the data hungry artificial stupidity leaves no choice to some sites
- benhurmarcel 2y agoDoes it work only based on the IP? I also tried from a mobile 4G connection, it’s the same.
- throwaway290 2y agoThis may be too paranoid, but if your mobile IP is persistent and phone was compromised and is serving as a proxy for bots then it could explain why your IP fell out of favor
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 2y agoYou don't get your own external IP with the phone, it's shared, like NAT.
- throwaway290 2y agoDepends on provider/plan
- scarface_74 2y agoI get a different IPv4 and IPv6 address every time I toggle airplane mode on and off.
- lazide 2y agoExternally routable IPv4, or just a different between-a-cgnat address?
- scarface_74 2y agoExternally routable IPv4 as seen by whatismyip.com.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 2y agoI found it's best to use VPSes from young and little known hosting companies, as their IP is not yet on the blacklists.
- benhurmarcel 2y agoOne of the affected websites is a local cafe in the EU. It doesn’t make any sense to block EU IPs.
