Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to the community to see if anyone is aware of a resource or webpage that tracks and lists VPN providers’ servers, particularly focusing on their status in relation to being targeted or banned by major services like Cloudflare, Google, etc.

As privacy advocates, we understand the importance of staying informed about the effectiveness and reliability of VPN services, especially in the face of increasing scrutiny and restrictions. Having access to a centralized and up-to-date list would be incredibly beneficial for users looking to make informed decisions about their privacy tools.

If such a resource exists, please share the link or any relevant information. If not, giving a the idea to the community. Your insights and contributions are greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time and assistance.

    You should operate under the assumption that all VPN providers will eventually make that list. There’s no VPN provider out there that will function better than one you setup yourself on a VPS. Find one with a good and stable connection speed and you shouldn’t have any issues. Generally they’re really inexpensive, too.

    VPN providers have a lot of customers, so when a service gets a connection hundreds of times a minute from a single IP, they either know they’re being attacked in some way or people are using a VPN to access their services. Generally its not a big deal until they start IP banning. If it’s just you and your devices on a single VPN, it’s much much more difficult to tell and likely won’t be blocked for arbitrary reasons.

      They know already all the private vpn servers, even almost major service providers list them publicly or for any user to check.

    Not sure but best you can do is minimize your exposure for services that require these corpo parasites.
