Site won't load when I have Express VPN turned on. I screen shotted the Cloudflare error: https://imgur.com/bIyfcZR

I am not an experienced VPN user (about a month) and I've noticed weird things like Google asking me if I'm a robot or making me solve a Captcha. I only got the VPN so I could torrent in peace, which it does well.

Not VPN related, I get the same.

As for Google, god forbid we were allowed to scrape the master scraper in peace, so you get automatic captchas (damn grainy ones too) if you try to google with a VPN on, in my experience.

I thought it was the VPN because when I turned it off, site worked

I think it's likely region based. I get the same without a VPN

Happening to me without any VPN set up.
