If I disable uBlock, Deezer loads just fine, despite NextDNS and Pi-Hole doing their thing. Anyone know how to troubleshoot or fix things?

    No, they are literally not. Blocking VPN users is literally the low effort thing to do because the rate of problematic attacks and similar high effort issues coming from those IPs is much higher than the few legitimate users using VPNs are worth.

      It’s like blocking IP addresses when most people have dynamic IPs. It looks like you’re being hard on people and doing lots, but in reality, you’re just harming innocent users.

        But that is the point. Most people do not use VPNs, you harm very few legitimate customers and save yourself the headache of dealing with all those who use VPNs for scams, attacks, exploits,…

        The trade-off is entirely different from dynamic IPs.

        Also, the admins running those things don’t do stuff to look like they are doing things, they wouldn’t care if you use a VPN if there was no downside to treating VPN IPs like any other.
