Urgent Help Needed: GitHub Account Restriction Due to VPN

Dear GitHub Support Team,

My account has recently been restricted, and I urgently need your help to resolve the issue, as it is affecting my work.

I believe the restriction happened because I use ProtonVPN for secure internet access, and sometimes it connects through random servers. I wasn’t aware that this could result in a violation of GitHub’s policies. I do not reside in or have any connection to a U.S.-sanctioned country. I am a resident of the United Arab Emirates, and I have already submitted documents to prove my residency when I filed my appeal two days ago, but I haven’t received a response yet.

Please understand that my work has come to a halt due to this restriction, and I am keen to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Could you kindly expedite the review of my appeal and reactivate my account? If you require any additional documents or clarifications, please let me know and I will provide them immediately.

Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention.
