I've just noticed today that any api requests (I think thats what they're called), like upvoting, favouriting, commenting, or even clicking New in the Forum section, give the message "Access Denied" or "Error: Unknown Error" whenever I have my Proton VPN turned on. I can still access e621 like normal, except just the api does not work. When I turn my VPN off, I can use the api again. This is new as of at most 48 hours ago. I'm wondering if this is a new development, a bug, or something on my VPN side of things.
Topic: Liking, Favoriting, Commenting, etc., does not work on a VPN.

um nvm ig, it's working now.
Not sure how to close this.
This isn't anything new, you likely just got a bad server ip on your vpn, and it's working now because you've gotten a different ip
