    Why and how would Lemmy know that you’re using a VPN, and why would block only specifically images? That doesn’t make sense to me.

        It’s not VPN endpoints we block, it’s some ASN’s that we’ve seen excessive amounts of abusive traffic from. Primarily that’s isps in China, but I also added Zenlayer a while ago (which is the hosting provider your vpn endpoint was on).

        I’ve removed them from the ban list, you should be good now. They might get readded if we see a flood of abuse from them though.

        I just happened to see your comment, anyone can feel free to dm me if they have issues.
