VPNs are commonly used during abuse and attacks on the site. If someone's being a jerk on the same network section you're connected to and get it banned so they knock it off, then you get blocked while connected through it too.
Just ran into this issue for the first time. Does the block apply even after logging in, or would I be safe to reactivate my VPN now that I've logged back in?

Login state doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the site detects you're using a specific IP.
