Is there any way to bypass VPN detection?
Just switching servers until you get one that works is about it.
Can you tell us the website and which Proton VPN server you experienced this with? Feel free to drop us a DM.
Whenever this happens to me I just keep randomly switching through servers. 2 out of 10 times it works. The others it just doesn’t or I get frustrated and quit.
Maybe Proton should introduce an auto VPN hop function so you keep cycling through them till one works.
With so many people using the same ips it’s not hard to for some systems to figure it out. Really you just have to keep trying different servers until one works
I’ve found at least on mobile that on most browsers it does this but when I use Firefox with ublock at the same time it prevents that message from showing up
You may need to use openvpn protocol with tcp 443 port.
Use Open VPN with port 443
Dedicated IP support for Proton VPN will help to bypass this.
Did you try stealth mode to get pass it?
Getting a better less saturated VPN provider is another option btw.
Proton getting IP blacklisted.
Unfortunately, ProtonVPN’s IP addresses exist in VPN blacklist such as https://www.ip2location.com/vpn-provider-coverage
The best option is looking for low profile VPN providers or setup your own private VPN using VPS.
I’d be careful using these data gathering marketing sites that compensate you. They are making more money off of selling your data than you will ever see.
Pointless using a VPN for privacy if you’re willingly giving your data to sites like these.
This is the only way that I can think of also. I have had to do this activating so many services.
I’ve encountered this issue on two websites:

I’ve used all servers from Proton’s free plan when they were available. I’ve also tried WARP and used a couple of WireGuard servers, but it didn’t work.
Out of curiosity, what do you do about that?
Just try to switch the exit node IP or do you actually contact them to ask that they allow access?
Im fine with my vpn.
the most oversold and abused VPNs give you these warnings, a few options left dont.
Wont share here because you guys will ruin those too, stay with proton.
Or get a dedicated IP address. When this happens in ProtonVPN I switch to one of my Torguard dedicateds and it will invariably work, at least at the moment.
I do wish Proton would offer dedicated IPs then I could drop Torguard at the next renewal.
It’s also easy to tell from the ASN of the IP. Just go to ipinfo.io and look up any VPN IP and it’ll accurately mark every single one as a VPN (that I’ve tried). That’s also why some sites don’t work at all I believe since changing the server doesn’t change the ASN to a residential or business one.
Or some sites just detect it’s a IP from a data center
