UK VPS with datacenter IP address

mrl22

My company has roughly 160 employees mostly working from home in the UK. I set up an OpenVPN service at DigitalOcean (London) for all employees to log into which has been working great.

The issue we are facing from time to time, we come accross websites that are not accessible via the VPN and I have narrowed this down to the public facing IP originating from a datacenter and not a residential or business IP address, therefore being blocked due to suspician of being bot traffic.

Does anyone have any ideas to get around this issue?

If the blocked sites are business services your company relies on ask them to whitelist your VPN IP if not configure selective routing so those specific domains bypass the VPN as there isno need for all other traffic to go through it....

Just use route IP NETMASK GATEWAY
Unless the website/API require whitelist, then just tell employee to use their residential connection. If you can't, then use multiple remote server

Install WGCF on the VPS so that traffic exits via Cloudflare Warp

There are many VPS providers that sell residential IP addresses. With AI, you can set up your own OpenVPN server, meaning you would own the VPN and the code. You could monitor the websites your employees visit and even block any sites you choose. Your only ongoing task would be purchasing residential IP addresses, which are sold in blocks at very low prices.

You need some technical knowledge, but with AI you can get it done in less than a day, or you can hire a programmer online for a few dollars to do it for you.
