IMO - any server is prone to a block as the blocks are happening in realtime. So even if a provider tells you no VPN isn't needed now, they will soon change their stance if/when they get affected. As above post I would also strongly recommened you prepare yourself with your own VPN and not rely on the provider!
It was also mentioned on another thread, even if the provider does get affected and 'quickly' fixes the issue - you will still be without service till they overcome the block.
I also understand that some of NORD VPN IP addresses (prob certain countries) are also being blocked so might want to avoid them!
