As someone have said, lemmy.world blocks VPNs.
But I'm curious, why are you sometimes using VPN, but other times exposing your real IP? Doesn't that defeat the purpose, since your instance admins would still have your real IP, once you have accessed your account from your real IP, even once.
Either use VPN all the time, or just don't bother. A half-assed approach doesn't really do anything.
I only turned it off to verify it was responsible for the issue. Otherwise, yeah, it’s always on. Didn’t realize instances could block VPNs or even identify they were in use.
Use an instance that does not block VPN.
I think it depends on which community (instance) you're trying to post. Some instances are blocking VPNs, e.g. lemmy.world. I assume you've already tried but try switching to a different VPN server.
