Hi, I recently encountered this issue when trying to access the instance (both in the browser and Jerboa) while using a VPN. I don't know if this is just an issue with the one I'm using (Surfshark) but I didn't have this issue before.
I imagine this security layer was implemented recently, and that's why it didn't happen before.
Is this intended, or is it just the filter wrongly taking the VPNs IP as a malicious one?
Yeah it's what I've been doing, but I've grown a habit of using the vpn when connected to a public WiFi. That's why it took me a while to realize that it was happening, I had only opened beehaw at home, where I don't use any VPN.
And yep, it works when using other locations.
