Wrote a program for downloading news from the site (requests + bs4). One site does not let me in, although I go through Zenmate VPN in Chrome. What should I do to make the site available to the program?

If we are talking specifically about VPN, then python will connect to targets through it.
And the site that won't let you in probably looks at the User-Agent, sees something like "python-requests" there, and treats it the way bots are supposed to. Try to change the UserAgent for the purity of the experiment.
