Events leading to the ban

I am a new player attempting to connect for the first time but unable to do so as I get a message that I am banned due to using a VPN and must make an appeal here?
I am just generally confused about why the game thinks I am using a VPN when that is not the case.

If it is relevant, this is the message I recieve when trying to join:

Failed to connect to server:
Connect denied: You, or another user of this computer or connection, are banned from playing here.
The ban reason is: “You are connecting through a datacenter or VPN. For administrative reasons we do not allow VPN connections to play. This is not a permanent record against your account, turning off your VPN is sufficient. If you have a technical issue and need a VPN to be able to play, you can request an exemption at forum.ss14.io
This ban will only be removed via appeal. You can appeal at https://appeal.ss14.io
Attempts to circumvent this ban such as creating a new account will be logged.

Reason the ban should be removed

I don’t have a VPN turned on. I don’t even have a VPN on my computer.
