My VPS IP address is either flagged as 'bots' or blocked by some websites - what to do?
Looking for advice; my VPS IP address is flagged as 'bots' by kayak.com and some financial websites are now blocking me.
Are there any options for me or should I ditch my VPS provider for another one? Context here is that my VPS is my primary router internet gateway, so all my outbound connectivity at home will show as coming from the VPS - so this has been an inconvenience for me (it was working fine the first 2 months - my provider probably got their range blacklisted).

that happens with a lot of datacenter IPs.
Simple. Don't use a VPS.
Or if you must use a VPN change providers.
Maybe you’re inadvertently doing something that’s causing the ‘bots’ flag. Have you checked to see if you show up on any blacklists, and the reasons why?
change the ip
