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.
