Unfortunately true. I wrote about it early last year here: https://blog.xkeeper.net/uncategorized/tcrf-has-been-getting...

The story has not changed much. Every so often I will remove most of the blocks put in place, and within a few hours I'm back to having to block them. Many of the cheaper VPNs are also hosted on AWS / Google Cloud / Azure (or other cloud providers), which are also unilaterally blocked.

I would much prefer we did not have to do this, but it is what it is.

This is why you should self host your VPN.

Many of us only like legitimate users, and therefore block VPNs.
