Australian Server but still Blocked from Australian site

I'm trying to connect to an Australian site but am blocked despite the VPN connected to an Australian server. When I turn Kaspersky VPN off I can connect to the site. Why is this?

I can reproduce your issue, some servers are restricting VPN access.

Hello @Guran, welcome.

Each website decides for itself whether or not to allow access via VPN.
If a site wants to block VPNs, it can use lists that include the known IP addresses of all possible services. Even if a VPN uses an IP address that isn’t yet known, it will eventually be blocked as well. After all, the available IP addresses are limited...

A website will always find a way to block VPNs if it wants to. In that case, it doesn’t matter which one you use.

Thank you all for the replies. I had previously been of the understanding that Australian sites sometimes blocked access if I was connected to an overseas server.
