   Thank you. I use an ordinary paid VPN that gets blocked by the filter. 
   The filter that Gikopoi uses seems extremely aggressive, far more so 
   than most of the rest of the web. Not even e-commerce or online banking 
   sites block it ^^;
   
   I can only speak for myself, but I don't really want random website 
   owners/moderators knowing my precise IRL location - especially on the 
   imageboard/anonymous BBS-adjacent side of the web, where websites are 
   often ran/moderated by less-than-stable individuals (and I say that as 
   someone who runs/moderates those types of sites myself XD)
   
   It may be possible on the VPN to whitelist sites on a site-by-site basis 
   (I've never tried and not particularly willing), but I'd never disable 
   it entirely because I browse/use more than 1 website/service at once 
   (ZOMG TABS)
