Why do some sites dislike VPN connections?
I've noticed that some websites seem to have a strong aversion to VPN connections. For instance, while using reputable VPN services like ExpressVPN and NordVPN, I frequently encounter issues. One particular site I enjoy using often displays a message indicating that my IP address has been banned. This forces me to delete the site's cookies and log in again with a different IP address. Additionally, I sometimes experience streaming problems, which can be quite frustrating. Why do some sites implement these restrictions against VPN users?

Because VPNs block all spyware and the trackers sites use to steal and sell your information to criminals for profit
Some sites, in particular streaming sites, may not have the rights to provide content to users in certain countries (this is due to copyright restrictions from the content creator). As you’re using a VPN, the site can’t do a reverse lookup to verify your location, so they block you.
