I read the comment about NordVPN. I am a Nord user and cannot upload. Are the admins saying that Nord is specifically an issue for their DDOS counter measures and so people should move to another provider or that this is a temporary issue? Also, does this affect other VPN providers or just Nord?
More or less. There are some users who say they have had intermittent success with different workarounds for NordVPN, but the general consensus is that NordVPN will not work.
