Only accidental I think. They have the option of reporting that you're behind a VPN proxy when it happens.
Didn't have an issue since a year. Think they changed sth (airvpn)
Using mullvad I have to always come back to a specific country that I used a lot couple months ago
That sounds funny, why do you think that happens?
dunno, but already changed to another search eng on mobile
I still get it very occasionally with Proton VPN.
For me it was way worse a year ago. I would get blocked all the time, now it rarely ever happens.
I do agree, it used to be a lot worse. I switched away from StartPage for a while because it was so frequent.
