The above image is all us folk in the UK see when you do, and if we try to use a VPN + incognito, we get this:

403 means forbidden, so the message is disingenuous.

They must have put some effort into block lists for VPN servers. Even if it works for some of us, it’s not worth it.

          Are you canadian? I found that tabarnak is a canadian term, by the way tabarnak sound like a citation from some Dungeons and Dragons inspirated story

            haha yeah, im a quebecker :3

            tabarnak is a swear word in quebec french, and like pretty much all swear words in quebec french it comes from a religious word (in this case, tabernacle) - maybe that’s why it sounds kinda fantasy-ish?

            but you’re right lol, it really does sound like that!
