Many VPNs have built in ad-blockers which can be turned off via the VPN's dashboard.
Windscribe has ad-blocking enabled by default and if you don't turn it off then this forum will flag you as using an ad-blocker.

The forum is probably detecting your VPN built in DNS blocker rather than an actual browser extension. Toggle off whatever ad or tracker blocking feature your VPN has and check again in a private tab. Sometimes phones have a private DNS like AdGuard running in the background too, so check that if turning off the VPN blocker does not work.

What's the vpn if it's a well known like Proton VPN or maybe shieldway it shouldn't be flagged. otherwise, i don't know. sometime it may act weird, i guess
