Ugh. Thanks. Now I better go figure out if I have this problem. I used OpenVPN client with IVPN.

I think it would be a good idea to post the results in the original thread. That way we can keep an active list of VPN providers who do & do not have this flaw.
Could possibly encourage the ones that haven't fixed it yet to do so.

Thanks for the heads up. Confirmed 403 Forbidden hitting my pub ExpressVPN IP (posted in that thread as well).

Manually configured ExpressVPN also getting 403.

That little extra work on the back-end always seems to pay off. Good looking out.
