Does people using VPN to access a site affect the Ad Sense revenue of a site?

[King Belieal]

Some people are always using VPNs to access some sites. And I see some site owners frown against the usage of VPN to access the site.

Does it mean that using VPN to access a site affect the earnings from Ad Sense for that site? Is there any disadvantages of VPN usage for a site?

Well, if the user does not interact with the ads (does not click ads), it does not affect the well being of the site that is running adsnese ads.

When you look at how paid to post forums present it, they make it seem that VPN really kills the site and that VPN traffic is not counted.

Yes people using VPNs to access a site can potentially affect AdSense revenue.

Yes the use of VPN would definitely have an effect, but how it affects it is mostly determined on how the VPN is used.

Yes, VPNs can affect AdSense by masking user location, leading to low ad relevance and reduced earnings.

It is kids practice because nowadays sites simply could know that you have used a VPN for example not like the past when the technology was new and effective.

Some ad networks do not count VPN traffic but Adsense does. However, the engagement should come from genuine user interest

Yes, Google AdSense can detect traffic that comes through VPNs. Google has sophisticated tools and algorithms designed to analyze and understand traffic patterns, including the identification of VPN use.
