  I’m not happy that WordPress is not working with my Surfshark VPN. When I try to edit a post or page, I only get an entirely blank screen. I’ve tried 2 browsers and the result is the same. The only solution I’ve found is to disconnect the VPN. If WordPress denies me this basic security measure, then that’s a deal-breaker and I’ll have to start looking for a new hosting platform. Has anyone found a work-around to this? In case it’s important, I’m on Windows 11.
