Why your VPN keeps getting blocked and the simple fix

You fire up your VPN, connect to a server and pull up the streaming service or website you were trying to reach. A few seconds later, you see the dreaded message: blocked. So you try again. Still blocked. Then you switch servers. Same result.

The good news is that there is usually one specific reason your VPN keeps failing.
