Not getting rewards with VPN

Depending on the endpoint I’m connected to I stop receiving ads for rewards. If I switch to an endpoint in the UK owned by Mullvad I start receiving rewards again. So far, all of the 10gbps servers I’ve tried in the US lead to no ads. What characteristics does Brave use to blacklist a VPN from ads?

Where are you located?

I’m in the United States.

And you get ads when connected to a VPN in the UK? Mmm that’s weird, is your device’s region settings set to US?

On the other hand, brave rewards usually can’t work while using a VPN

I’ve been on a VPN for awhile. I just recently updated my router to OPNSense, and probably no longer have leaks as a result. Still have no problem getting payouts through Uphold.

I get ads if I switch to a Mullvad owned server, and then switch back to one in the US.

Yeah, I have Arch Linux’s time set to my city. I also have the browser configured for my state.
