Malewarebytes blocking

[wildbill 0]

I wasn't sure which was the correct forum for this and I'm a bit surprised searching didn't turn up any existing threads.

Anyway, in the last year, and getting more aggressive in the last 6 months, Malewarebytes blocks attempts to connect to a lot of AirVPN servers, especially those in Canada.  Now it's easy enough to get around by adding the IPs as exceptions in Malewarebytes, but why did would it suddenly start blocking the server IPs (by default) in the last year?  I've used AirVPN and Malewarebytes for many years without any blocking problems until fairly recently, as stated.  Not every server is blocked, but sometimes one that isn't will suddenly start being blocked and require an exception.  Do you have any idea why this started?
