VPN blocking searches on Craigslist

You wrote: I am able to access the Craigslist website but when I type a search criteria into the search box and click enter, I receive the following error message:

This IP has been automatically blocked.
If you have questions, please email: blocks-b1602894697861186@craigslist.org

I have been having this issue for a week now and only occurs when AGV VPN is on. Turn off the VPN and everything works fine.

1.  Do you mean AVG VPN ?
If so this should be addressed in the AVG Support forum (whilst AVG is a part of Avast Software, it has its own support forum).

That said.
2.  From your "This IP has been automatically blocked."
It would appear that it is Craigs List that is blocking the IP address you have selected in the VPN program, rather than the VPN blocking craigslist.
