Soundcloud and VPN's
Anyone else here notice that Soundcloud currently appears to blocking access via a VPN? I've never had this problem before. I use ExpressVPN and I have tried several of their servers in different locations with the same issue. As soon as I disconnect from the VPN I can get straight on. Unless this is a just temporary glitch, I'll have to consider putting my music elsewhere.

UPDATE: Definitely a problem. Soundcloud appears to have taken the decision to block VPN's. That's a bad decision and one I hope they will reverse quickly. I use a VPN for added security. I know VPN's sometimes get used to hide illegal activity but they are also used by business and by authorities. I'm going to use a 2nd host for my music as I think I'll lose listeners. I'd be interested to hear if others have experienced this problem and what their thought might be.

Wasn't aware of this. Seems like a strange decision on their part. VPNs are pretty commonplace.

Yeah, it is a strange decision Owen. One or two folks on the other forums have the same problem. I keep getting a 403 error message, yet I can get straight on as soon as I disconnect from my VPN. Unless this changes I'll be using different platform to host my songs in future.

I contacted ExpressVPN this morning to report my on-going problems with Soundcloud. By this afternoon it appears to be working again which is good news. I don't know what caused the issue but I'm hoping it doesn't re-occur.
