VPN blockers can be used by government entities, ISPs, and websites to restrict access and block users attempting to remain anonymous.
Common methods of blocking VPNs include IP blocking, deep packet inspection, and port blocking.
To bypass VPN blockers, choose a VPN with anti-blocking features, use mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, or try different tunneling protocols, ports, or encryption types.
