imgur vpn issue

[Sarah]

hi so recently (past week) I've noticed that imgur (and another image host that I forgot) basically seem to soft-block vpn's now

its really weird, I can view images with hoverzoom and I see embedded images in threads and sigs etc, but if I click the links it gives me a perma-load icon thingy

when I try to upload screenshots with sharex or directly on the website I either get a 403 "over capacity" error or some other error like "error while trying to create album", etc

 

if I visit the website the UI loads but I'm greeted with a text that says "Sorry! We're encountering some technical difficulties. Refresh or check back in a few!"

I don't know whats going on, I'm not the only person with this issue and I know its not my vpn because someone else with a different vpn told me they have the same issue

help pls

this has been happening to me for a couple of months now, switched to residential proxies and all good.

Yeah probably a good fix would be trying out residential proxies.
