Up until yesterday, this problem didn't exist but today when I was connected to a VPN, I couldn't post either a text or image post. I got this error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

After I disconnected from my VPN, the error went away. What gives?

Not an admin of lemmy.world, but have been dealing with a lot of the same crap recently.

Users have been uploading CSAM material behind VPNs. That sort of material can get any of our lemmy instances taken down and us admins are personally liable.

So in short, those very few ruined it for everyone else. My instance also now blocks vpns and tor networks.

Yikes! I understand now, thanks.
