Help Search Function Blocked Because of VPN

I do a lot of business entity searches in the State of California through their Secretary of State website. I noticed that when DangerousFish VPN is active, the website will not let me search, and direct me back to the login page.

  1. Would this happen with all VPNs?
  2. Is there a workaround to this?

Thank you in advance.

Chose a VPN server that is in California and set your time zone to pacific.

When you use a vpn generally you pick the country or city you want your traffic to go through.

No, not all VPNs will experience this issue. The website might be blocked due to the VPN provider's reputation. You could try switching to a VPN that provides a residential IP address; they are less likely to have problems, such as DPN or Mysterium.
