I created an account for the first time around November/December 2024 and the second time about a month ago.
I logged in a few times during this month with the account created a month ago. I don’t know about the first one because I deleted it.
I tried logging in earlier, and it didn’t give me any issues. I created the accounts both times with an alias from proton pass and from Mullvad VPN’s servers (any one) in Norway.
It simply bothered me that I couldn’t read a Reddit post without logging in just because I had a VPN, so I tried different countries until I tried Norway.
With Proton VPN, however, I never had any issues, even with countries outside of Norway. I probably used Proton for a few months around March 2025.
