I've been using a VPN and yesterday, couldn't access DU.

The particular server was in TX and I could login on my desktop but not the phone with the VPN. Changed server and now it works.

Any ideas what happened? I’ve used servers from Texas and other locations , even internationally, before this with no issues.

I usually use one server but sometimes shift. I have frequent slowdowns, but usually can access the site.
