Why is my Twitter blocked?

Why is my Twitter blocked?

Twitter, like many other social media platforms, is subject to some geo-restrictions, which are usually a result of censorship by oppressive governments. It is also commonly blocked on universities, schools, or workplace networks in an attempt to keep you focused on the task at hand.

Thankfully, you can connect to one of Surfshark’s many servers to overcome oppressive censorship and access Twitter from anywhere in the world. Choose one of the obfuscated servers if, on top of accessing Twitter, you want to hide the fact that you’re using a VPN.

Why should I use a VPN for Twitter?

First and foremost, a VPN is an online privacy tool. When you use Twitter with a VPN, it encrypts all your traffic and hides your IP address. This makes you and your activity much harder to trace. In other words, you should use a VPN when you’re on Twitter for the same reason you should use a VPN anywhere else — to keep your sensitive data and privacy safe online.

Should I use a free VPN for Twitter?

You shouldn’t use a free VPN for Twitter. The best-case scenario with a free VPN is that you may get a painfully slow connection with limited bandwidth and very few servers to choose from. On top of that, you may be bombarded by intrusive ads, which is how many free VPNs make money.

On some occasions, free VPN providers have been known to collect your data and sell it to third parties. So while premium VPNs protect your privacy, free alternatives may put it at risk.

FAQ

Does Twitter work with a VPN?

Twitter works well with most premium VPNs, such as Surfshark. A VPN can also help overcome oppressive government restrictions and make Twitter work in areas where it otherwise doesn’t. You should consider using a VPN whenever you’re on Twitter or the internet in general, as it’s the easiest way to protect your privacy online.

How do I get Twitter Blue using a VPN?

If you want to get Twitter Blue when using a VPN, make sure you’re connected to a server located in a country where Twitter Blue is available. Since a VPN changes your virtual location to that of the server, if you’re connected to a location that doesn’t offer Twitter Blue, you won’t be able to get it.

Should I use Twitter with a VPN?

You should be connected to a VPN whenever you’re online, including when you’re using Twitter. A VPN encrypts your traffic and hides your IP address, keeping your sensitive information away from prying eyes.
