Knowing VPN IPs Are Blocked

Smaller VPNs are sometimes more successful than larger VPNs since many VPN restrictions work by preventing access to recognized VPN IP addresses. If the IP address of your VPN is not yet known, you will be able to avoid the VPN ban. Large VPN providers also periodically cycle their IP addresses to generate new ones that haven't (yet) been blacklisted, allowing you to continue bypassing VPN bans even while using a well-known provider. Things change all the time, and a VPN that works today may not work tomorrow, so taking advantage of the free trials given by major VPN services is a good idea.

Using a VPN allows you to avoid all but the most advanced attempts to regulate and restrict the internet. As a result, authoritarian regimes throughout the world have made measures to prevent or prohibit VPNs. However, such legislation is typically unpopular and difficult to execute, thus most governments avoid absolute prohibitions. Rather than outright prohibiting VPNs, several nations restrict access to well-known VPN service providers. While challenging, it is possible if governments are prepared to devote resources to the endeavor.
