Better technlology to bypass websites that actively block VPNs
I am increasingly facing websites that actively block people when connecting via VPN. I see this trend increasing and it is a threat to privacy.
There was already a feature request in this regard labeled as "finished". Funny enough, the website mentioned in that request still doesn't work with the VPN enabled: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/46860823-bypassing-vpn-blockers-option
It is really easy for websites to see that the connection is via a VPN and we need better technology design to avoid being blocked for the wrong reasons.
I certainly don't want to connect to banks or other sites without a VPN connection, especially when in public networks. But even soccer teams, museums and other websites are actively blocking connecting via VPNs in order to "prevent" frauds or DDoS attacks.
So a lot of improvement is needed to preserve our right to privacy and safety.

I agree. My bank keeps locking my account because I connect to them over VPN. Very annoying especially since there is a 2 day waiting period after an unlock before I can do it again.
