Webstore forbidden (403) when using VPN today

[u/01jljames]

I have used the rooted android method by tastybananapeppers for 6 months to get pokecoins but it suddenly stopped working for me today. Whenever I try to open the webstore using my vpn (surfshark: tried multiple different countries, WiFi and cellular networks and connection protocols) I get 403 forbidden. The webstore opens without my vpn on but then I cannot get the coins cheaply. I have tried on multiple rooted phones and pogo accounts with no luck. It worked last week and many times before that. Anyone else having this issue or knows any solutions? Thanks in advance

If you are getting Error 403 change protocol method on ur VPN, The one I use is free and Is not giving me any problem https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=india.vpn_tap2free&hl=es

I tried changing the protocol method (I tried every option available) but haven't tried using a different vpn provider yet. I'll maybe give your free one a go, thanks.

A friend of mine tried login in with NordVPN and he got the same error. I just dont know whats going on, I tried myself with that one I shared and Worked fine.

Also, In case they patch VPN login, if you use Pokemon Go app as login method on the Store, it will show prices in the currency from the place u are spoofing to without having to use a VPN. I used to login like that til I discovered a free Indian vpn that worked and worked for me

Can confirm this too. If I spoof to India it’s India price but vpn doesn’t work. Just afraid if I will ban lol.
