Any well-established Lemmy instances that publicly allow posting from VPNs? (lemmy.world)

Basically the subject is in title. I recently discovered lemmy.world doesn't allow commenting/posting from VPNs. Some VPNs are working, but it seems to be a matter of time until they appear on publicly sourced lists and banned.

I also use Proton VPN. Most issues were with DE servers I tried, multiple DE servers (like DE#526) didn't work for me, but some others seem to be working. I also tried some other countries and they were working.

Maybe some spammer just got those IPs blacklisted or something.
