Currently using CyberGhost VPN (free) connected to a Washington server (I'm in MA) from my desktop.

I can log into my account without an issue on my mobile phone; not using CyberGhost VPN. Everything works fine. Is CyberGhost the issue?

This is on 2.0.0.0 Release 6.

EDIT: Looks like CyberGhost is the issue as I am able to use the bot without it, but why? What's the point in risking the bot if I can't use it with a VPN?

Please note that this kind of vpn is a public free service, that means lots ppl are using it, so they have a great chance getting blocked. So consider to use private vpn
