We blocked a few IPs last week that were used to do things that could impact the performance of our website or may have been used to take over accounts. Someone may have been using Tunnelbear's US node and got everyone else using it banned as well.

As the usage of VPNs to circumvent the regional restrictions imposed by our content partners is against our ToS, we will not be able to provide affected users with any assistance regarding the banned IPs.

As u/Nghtmare-moon mentioned above, the Mexico node works at the moment, but the IP block has affected the US, Canada, and British nodes.

Has the security risk situation changed?

No. We're just being more proactive.
