I find it interesting when websites deny me access to them simply because I'm running on a VPN. Kinda makes me wonder what they're running under the hood such that connecting through a VPN is seen as some sort of security risk. But why should it matter where I'm connecting from in order to just read your public webpage?
This is the same kind of crap that Reddit pulls, and we all know why they do it.
The company I'm interviewing with today does this. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.
