Do you know how they detect VPN traffic?

When I'm traveling I'll often pipe my traffic through a VPN on my home network. I have had some weird failures but I've usually assumed that it was due to an unreliable hotspot I'm using. Now I'm wondering if using a VPN is the real problem...

It'll be due to the exit nodes for the VPN having been put on a blocklist.

If you're tunneling through your home network it's unlikely to cause problems, unless you've been doing nefarious things from your home IP and that has also ended up on a blocklist.
