The above image is all us folk in the UK see when you do, and if we try to use a VPN + incognito, we get this:

403 means forbidden, so the message is disingenuous.

They must have put some effort into block lists for VPN servers. Even if it works for some of us, it’s not worth it.

For more information on this, see this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

        either my instances CDN uses a UK server somewhere and that blocks it, or you just can’t post imgur images in comments

              Are you canadian? I found that tabarnak is a canadian term, by the way tabarnak sound like a citation from some Dungeons and Dragons inspirated story

                haha yeah, im a quebecker :3

                tabarnak is a swear word in quebec french, and like pretty much all swear words in quebec french it comes from a religious word (in this case, tabernacle) - maybe that’s why it sounds kinda fantasy-ish?

                but you’re right lol, it really does sound like that!
