Any well-established Lemmy instances that publicly allow posting from VPNs? (lemmy.world)

Basically the subject is in title. I recently discovered lemmy.world doesn't allow commenting/posting from VPNs. Some VPNs are working, but it seems to be a matter of time until they appear on publicly sourced lists and banned.

I never had issues posting on Lemmy when using vpn. If Lemmy starts blocking my vpn I will stop using Lemmy.
