Is ShieldSecurity a problem on your end or the site's end?


Yes, with my VPN source IP, many sites work fine (like hackernews).

But if sites that does not need to know personal information cares about my source IP, then I say "too bad". The only sites that should care where I am from are sites like banking, credit card, etc.


Avoid using low-reputation addresses for surfing. If you fail to differentiate yourself from the spammers, website hosters can say "too bad" to you, too.
