I am working on a website from past 2 month. The website is basically a VPN affiliate. I was producing unique and quality content from native English writers, and it was doing good but suddenly today my website got vanished from the results.
Is it penalized or is it normal and I should wait for few days.
Experts Please suggest.

Not surprising if the domain is only 2 months old
Google shuffles pages for the first 4-6 months

There is a product review update which might have affected the site.

Hard to tell if it was truly penalized. But the signs suggests same.

Watch it for a few days. Could be penalty, it could be Google remembering you're supposed to be sandboxed.
 
The blog is new and this there is still chance for you to recover. Just keep adding more good content on the website.

But the thing is all the results that were appearing before vanished. My website is not appearing on any single search query. It never happened to me.
 
Sign out of your gmail account when using google search. If your logged into the same gmail that's connected to gsc your website will not appear in search for you only.

Thanks for the advice but I am checking it in the guest mode
 
like someone else said, your site has probably been affected by the latest google update, which has targeted product review sites specifically (which I assume your site was about): Here's the link to the update:
https://developers.google.com/search/updates/ranking
This is the 5th (or 6th?? I've lost track of them) product review update in the last 2 years, and if it's the same mumbo-jumbo as before then what this means for you is that google want to see you using the products you're promoting, they want you to share your experience with the products, etc... basically be an expert on the product you're reviewing...

If you don't meet these conditions you will probably not rank product review sites.

For now, I have not listed any VPN brand in my content. I just mention to use a VPN for streaming purpose and keep it general. I have not added any affiliate links in my content.

I don't think it matters. If google detected your site as being about product reviews they've probably already flagged it.
 
There is no other option except to wait and watch.

The only thing you can do is keep posting Good articles and try to build some natural backlinks.
 
I would recommend checking your Google Search Console for any messages or alerts, and also doing a quick backlink audit to make sure there are no spammy or low-quality links pointing to your site. If everything looks good, then it could just be a temporary fluctuation and you should wait and see if your rankings recover in a few days.
