@perishable No, I mean the IP you’ve been given by the VPN. In order to see that error, it would have to mean that IP has been targeting Tumblr with excessive abusive activity. You're not bad, neither is Tumblr, but your VPN (or at least that one server) is hosting some significant bad actor(s).

@macmanx I get that. It's a private VPN but OK. No worries anyway because I only visit Tumblr like once per year.
