Website thinks I'm in another country and won't let me in.

Getting a message when trying to open one particular site, "Northern Tool", saying The site is not available in my country but I am in Kansas and the site is in northern U.S. On another PC I can log in to the site using Express VPN. Could there be a glitch in Mozilla VPN giving a location to the website from a country not allowing web service? I have been using Dallas, Texas as my server location and tried Denver but I keep getting the same message. Contacted the Northern Tool phone line but they don't report any other trouble from anyone else.

Hello,

Unfortunately, some websites disallow usage of VPN and will block access if they detect you’re using one. There’s no current workaround for this as it’s a decision made on their end of things, not ours. It may be something we can look at working around in the future.

Best regards,
