Yes, same with protonvpn free.
Same here. This is quite annoying. I’d imagine as a plus account they shouldn’t block me but that’s not the case.
NordVPN blocked often lately too.
I use surfshark. First 2 ip addresses were blocked with the 1020 error. Speculations: a) openai doesn’t like VPN access b) openai bans some IP addresses if known to be associated with VPN c) openai may someday ban all VPN access (if they can figure it out). d) openai may have identified two surfshark VPN addresses, as two I was using yesterday are now blocked e) the block might be temporary. I won’t know until I try accessing from those ip addresses again f) if your static ip address is blocked, you’ll have no choice but to use VPN g) if your VPN provider has IP addresses known to be associated with VPN services, and therefore blocked by openai, you’ll need to use a different VPN provider with ‘fresh’ IP addresses h) as a VPN provider’s ip addresses get known and blocked by openai, you’ll need to switch VPNs i) openai may be randomly blocking some IP addresses used by VPN providers which means tomorrow the blocked VPN IP address may work
Do you know if subscribing for proton VPN would work cause it does same thing for my surfshark
Same. Just turned off SurfShark and the access denied screen disappeared.
SurfShark confirmed best VPN therefore.
I’m not even a plus account. But I forgot to update my OP - my VPN IP is no longer being blocked, for some reason. So I can use it again without a hassle. But ChatGPT keeps crashing for me every 5 minutes or so.
same here I just got blocked not sure how to fix it 
Updated, unfortunately did not help at all
