I recently found the app Sink It for Reddit. It’s a Safari extension for iOS Safari that removes the popups that ask you to download and use the app.

Fucking finally, I had enough of their app that doesn’t respect my privacy. Now I can use private browsing as much as I want to.
I don’t know if it unlocks VPN block messages though
I have it too but I’ve since moved on to using rdx. It’s actually a hard client instead of a safari extension. Can’t login and post/comment though, and it only works for browsing/lurking, which is what I mostly do nowadays.
I have it as well but I didn’t I could redirect a browser page to opening in rdx
