VPN age verification issues with X (twitter)
I live in Europe, where this stupid age verification law is in effect. I get around this by using a VPN. The problem is that I have two Firefox profiles set up with the same VPN and the same country. The issue occurs on X (formerly Twitter). On one profile, the VPN works as it should and I no longer need to verify my age, but on the other profile, the VPN has no effect and X (Twitter) asks me to verify my age. Yet the VPN is definitely enabled. I’ve cleared the cache and cookies, but nothing helps. It’s driving me crazy. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

Try changing the country in the misbehaving one, you might get a less known node.
What does iplocation.io show you for each of the profiles?

IP blocking works well. In fact, the other sites that are blocked in Europe work... except for X. Unbelievable
I tried it on a third Firefox profile, using a VPN. Same result. All the blocked sites are unblocked... except for X.
Okay. Thanks to whoever replied. I tried again, and everything is back to normal. The mysteries of computing.
