I haven't a clue why they would deny you access for that reason only Robert. Speak to the store manager if you think you were denied access just for having a personal VPN. I feel like Lowe's has their own cookies to keep someone from hacking in a back door or something. Speak to the store manager and I'm sure they can give you a satisfactory answer. I deal with the Lowes off of Piney Forest Rd in Danville Va. and they are always very helpful and knowledgeable.
I have the same problem.
