I use ProtonVPN, GFAQs keep flagging my activity as malicious and I have to press the "I won't do it again" message but it happens like every few minutes.

I just had to add an exception to an alternate browser to not use the VPN for that one but I'd rather route all traffic through the VPN...

So you're pressing the "I won't do it again" button, and then immediately do it again?!?!

I'm telling Obama.

I'm dumb and just saw there's a way to exempt a specific IP so I just exempted the GFAQs IP... hopefully that works.

You'll have to watch out on that or you'll get suspended/IP banned eventually. Years ago I kept seeing that message and had no idea why. I spoke to a mod after I got suspended and through the discussion of what I was being told it was due to "large amounts of data", which I eventually figured out was a game scraper I was using to grab artwork and had no idea it was taking from GameFAQs as a source. Once I figured out during our discussion that was what was causing it, I said I would stop but they refused to lift the suspension because I had previously clicked that "I won't do it again" and had done it again.

I only use a VPN to watch my local teams play on MLB tv so sometimes I forget to switch off of it. I get too many "IP blocked" pages when I visit gamefaqs with it on lol

Yeah I'm 100% paranoid about getting banned.

You could lose your account if you happen to use the same IP as a KOS user.
