Kagi blocking VPN users?

cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/13725656

I'm getting a 403 error on Kagi when using Mullvad VPN. Can anyone confirm they're blocking VPN users now? I'll immediately cancel my Kagi subscription if this turns out to be the case.

I've gotten that a few times but Kagi works with most mullvad endpoints for me.
More and more sites seem to be blocking mullvad endpoints though. It's frustrating.
I emailed support about this, and they replied telling me they had adjusted some configuration to try to fix the problem. Seems like it was an unintended result of some other change.
They're likely trying to mitigate ddos attack, resulting in this problem. I'm just guessing here tho.

Works well for me over Mullvad VPN. Endpoint is Stockholm, Sweden.
Ran into this as well when I was testing it out (using Mullvad). It seems plausible. Or for some reason Mullvad's ip addresses end up in some black list regularly that sites like Kagi use to block bots/spammers etc.
