same as title, recently got a new pc and installed my vpn from my thumb drive so i wouldnt connect to the internet at all without a VPN and i notice on this pc my connection gets blocked every time i try to go to reddit, which isnt often with fosscad being removed.
Short answer: Yes

Nah, I use VPN 24/7 and my account is still poping 10k likes on posts

Yep they block mullvad. Good riddance I say (to reddit. Its all bots anyways)
ya i use mullvad and i get blocked every time. i refuse to make an account so im so glad someone had posted that re-direct cuz the amount of info on reddit is unfortunately, unmatched
The absolute irony of a site so infested by bots blocking VPNs.
Wonder how many VPS provider IPs they get from their “users”
I don’t have any issues. I always have VPN on and I can access Reddit without issues.
Which one do you use?
Yes. I’ve noticed this is a lot more common for Mullvad than for ProtonVPN servers.
because Mullvad is a real G and they know it.
Same here with ProtonVPN
I think Reddit’s onion site still works.
Reddit has an onionsite?
If you use tor, the browser will suggest the site when you get on a Reddit page, at least using old Reddit, if you don’t have the suggestions turned off in settings ( by default they are on)
I have not used Reddit it in two years , but it used to work ok in tor onion URL
new reddit also has a .onion
Sometimes yes in my experience, but mostly it works fine. I suspect it’s a game of whack-a-mole with VPN companies constantly rotating IPs.
I get this issue about 60% of the time I click on a reddit link with ProtonVPN. Though for some reason this week I’ve had no issues, but the past month I kept needing to server hop.
I think the main intention here is to block the bots. Reddit blocks requests coming from certain IPs associated with VPS and similar commercial providers. VPN services often rent exit servers there. My connection is blocked when it goes through Tailscale exit node hosted on a VPS.
You can use Tor to browse Reddit anonymously, there is even a .onion address
Don’t use reddit
i agree with this but you cant deny the amount of info on reddit. glad someone posted the re-direct cuz as much as i hate it, its a valuable tool
Sometimes it’s the only decent search result
Yup, this site is very familiär tot me since i got a VPN
Change the VPN location.
The point of having a VPN is to use many locations.
I’ve generally had good luck doing this. They do blanket ban the majority of big VPN data centers, but jumping around a bit for a minute usually gets around this.
Though tbh my plan for today is to wipe and delete my account and set up Redlib.
You can’t log in via redlib, IIRC. It is great just to read, though. I used it all the time.
Oh yeah I know. It’s for the best to stop interacting with that cesspit so I have no problem going read-only lmao
That won’t matter. VPNs typically use a known set of IPs, and services like Reddit that are run by surveillance capitalism companies simply block those known ranges (see also YouTube, for example).
Then explain why if I get this error, I switch locations and don’t get it. I’ve been dodging this for 2 years.
VPN blacklists are chasing a moving target. Only truly bad VPNs with few exit servers and IPs would manage to get fully blocked across any location.
i tend to have pretty good luck swapping around with mullvad. eventually there’s always one that works
It would seem so, I also haven’t been able to use Reddit on VPN.
