The issue with a VPN is that it’s likely that other people using the same exit node are doing something malicious. A site like reddit or a bank or whatever sees a lot of attacks coming from one IP (or a range of IPs) and mark it as malicious.
You’d likely do the same thing with your own site - something like Denyhosts or Crowdsec that blocks people trying to brute force a password will end up blocking anyone else using that same VPN exit IP.
Nobody is doing anything malicious. This didn’t start happening until reddit went public and decided to block their API.
What’s probably happening is they’re worried too many requests are coming from one ip address and you might be scraping their precious data to train your LLM.
If there was any justice their stock would be sliding further into the toilet because the first time anyone saw that notice they just quit going to the site entirely.
How do you know that though? VPNs are very commonly used to send spam, perform ransomware attacks, DDoS attacks, etc.

This is definitely also a possibility.
