will no longer allow new free users to sign up using a VPN.

I understand the need to combat abuse, but I have to imagine there was a better way to do that. VPNs - while often overblown - are INCREDIBLY common even outside the privacy space, and are often one of the first entry-level steps some people take when getting into privacy. Even I use a VPN on all my devices and my router.

Very disappointing. I might delist them over this.
