VPN Now blocking access to rentmen.eu

[nycbystander]

went to browse this morning, the VPN I have always used ( subscription not one of the freebie) will not allow access.  I get "CrowdSec Access forbidden. You are unable to visit this website" I use Express VPN and go in from a London location. Worked fine two days ago

Anyone experience this ?

I use TunnelBear and have encountered no problems. Tried both The Netherlands and UK.

I have ExpressVPN and for me the blocking has been sporadic.  I'm thinking it's a CrowdSec tech problem.

Keep in mind that VPN providers often share IP addresses across many users. When one person engages in suspicious or unwanted behavior, the IP address might get blacklisted which affects all other users of that VPN.

This.  I use a VPN that uses a gazillion different servers, and some of them are blocked by RM or even this site.

Aw…bummer.
I’ve been having trouble for a while too.

I've been thinking it was only me.  It's a small comfort, but a comfort none-the-less, to know I'm not alone.  😒

CrowdSec has just banned all IPs on AirVPN. Anyone else have a VPN they can recommend for access to rent.men or rentmen.eu?

I can’t find any specific reports of a blanket ban of AirVPN. While CrowdSec could ban specific AirVPN IPs if they’re linked to malicious activity, a blanket ban on all AirVPN IPs is unlikely. If you’re experiencing access issues with AirVPN, it’s more likely that specific servers are flagged, and switching to another server or contacting AirVPN support could resolve the issue.

I have ExpressVPN that is currently working for those sites.

Thanks all.

JamesB:  No - it's a blanket ban for rentmen. None of the AirVPN IPs work with it. I tried multiple servers from multiple locations. No luck.

It's the website not allowing you access probably because VPN blocks your IP address.  It happened when I tried to log into my bank and the bank wouldn't allow it.  That's why I don't use VPN.

I just tried using AirVPN and it works just fine with both rent.men and rentmen.eu
