Is Qobuz blocking VPNs now? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello. I don't know where to post this and thought this would be the best place for my question.

As of today, I am no longer able to stream music on Qobuz when I have a VPN enabled. At first I thought they had a problem with their servers and tried to re-login, but then Qobuz told me that I am not allowed to log in with an active VPN.

I tried changing the country, but nothing worked.

I hope this is not the case. I switched to Qobuz because they are based in France and pay the most per stream. I don't want to go back to Tidal (based in the US) just to be able to keep my VPN enabled.

Proton VPN was garbage for streaming services. I haven't had problems since switching to Mulvad.

They blocked all the time. If you weren't Blockes before, it was luck.

Qobuz is working fine for me with ProtonVpn with several different countries servers used.

What vpn are you using? Could always split tunnel.

Seems to be working fine for me on mullvad.

You have "Block connections without VPN enabled"? If I allow my Phone to connect without a VPN it works, but I don't want that.

Normally I always have this activated.

Seems to be working fine for me right now.
