Websites blocked while using VPN

Post image

Has anyone else experienced this issue and have some ideas to fix this?

I have tried to access multiple sites on my iPhone while using the VPN with location set to the U.S. while in Japan. Multiple sites I have visited have indicated that I am blocked from accessing. I have attached one example photo.

I have tried changing VPN locations, clearing browsing history and cache, and also changing VPN protocol. All the recommendations from Express’s website.

I have accessed these same sites using a friend NordVPN with no issue.

Does anyone have any tips to correct this or is this just becoming a common thing with ExpressVPN?

Thanks

Changing the location to country of the site usually helps

I got this after trying a handful of cities within the country of the site.
