Commenting / Posting blocked by VPN (lemmy.world)

I haven’t had any problems upvoting or accessing lemmy content, but yesterday, whenever I tried leaving a comment on a post, I triggered a 403 error (both from the Mlem app and my browser) which identified the use of VPN as an issue. Once I disabled my VPN, I was able to post the comment.

Now, while trying to make this post, I am experiencing errors too.

Has anyone else experienced this, and have you found work arounds?

Use an instance that does not block VPN.
