with the VPN "off" then there is probably something going on with hackers/spammers using the same block of IP's that the VPN is dishing out and have gotten them blacklisted by Google.

Need to upgrade your VPN service. I use Nord, but some VPN services don't rotate their IP addresses and they get banned when not so nice people misuse them.

Most VPN companies keep their VPN servers on an ip rotation so you may find one that's banned but others that are not. If your VPN provider let's you change servers then do that. Some though are automated and you're stuck.
