Not sure why you are reluctant to name the programs you're using....? 🤷
I asked my husband, who has worked in the IT industry for over 30 years, and my son, who has been in the IT industry for 10 years, about using a VPN vs using a non-tracking browser such as Brave. They both say a VPN does NOT block trackers, cookies, malicious traffic, etc. They both agree you are
much safer using Brave as your browser - and they both specifically named that particular browser.
Websites such as this forum block VPNs because hackers, spoofers, and scammers from India, China, etc use them to gain access. It is not very likely that you will succeed in convincing anyone from tech support to disable this feature.
