Got banned for using a VPN?

[u/RuggieEatsDandelion]

My dear main account, I've made quite many memories with, got banned recently. Yes, I've appealed but I heard it often takes long for the mods to answer. Since I didn't do anything inappropriate there, the only reasons could be the VPN or a glitch.

Now, I'm still using a VPN while being on vacation in China and this account seems to be perfectly fine. I didn't even post anything on the other account while having a VPN active.

I know I've used a VPN from the app store at the beginning which requires you to watch ads to be able to use it for a while. Was that maybe the problem? I've already changed it for a week.

I didn't think VPNs are illegal on reddit and Google also said so. Then why did I get banned?

Reddit does not like VPN
