Has anyone else had trouble accessing audiobookbay through the mullvad VPN? I tried multiple different servers without success.

Mind sharing which Mullvad server you’re using?

Other trackers may require a set IP for VPNs to work but mullvad doesn’t allow static IPs if I recall. The way around this (from my experience with other trackers) is to set up 2 factor auth. I haven’t used audiobookbay, but this was my solution for 3 other sites.

The issue is not with the torrents posted there. But access to the website itself. I can access well enough over Tor and download the Torrents using mullvad. But when I try to access the website using mullvad…nothing.

Yes this was my experience with some websites as well until I set up an account with two factor authentication so that I could authenticate my IP properly. Some of these web servers are set up to deny certain IP ranges that can’t be cached.

oh! okay, but I don’t think you can do 2FA with Audiobookbay, nor would I want to. 😅

I’ve had trouble using any kind of VPN on ABB. It’s pretty frustrating.

The Denver, Colorado server worked for me

Thank you! It worked for me too. Let’s hope it’s not blocked in the near future.

I think it times out any US based request. Try Tor.
