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.
Yes.
I don’t have any issues. I always have VPN on and I can access Reddit without issues.
Which one do you use?
Don’t use reddit
Sometimes it’s the only decent search result
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
of course r*ddit uses the image of a smug little prick for this
Short answer: Yes
It would seem so, I also haven’t been able to use Reddit on VPN.
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”
Interestingly, while they do block vpns, they don’t seem to be able to block the libred instance I run on the same IP address as my VPN.
Yes, that’s because libred looks like an Android mobile app to Reddit. Content doesn’t get blocked of on there, no matter what your IP address is.
Is there any way to auto-URL replace within a browser? ie Searching leads to a reddit thread, open on libred.
If you use the browser extension on Firefox it will do this automatically.
Yes there is!

Its a bit of extra work to get on some chrome based browsers but it works great once you have it set.
Change the VPN location.
The point of having a VPN is to use many locations.
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).
i tend to have pretty good luck swapping around with mullvad. eventually there’s always one that works
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’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
Yup. If you really need to check something on there, there is an extension for your browser (Chrome and Firefox) that will redirect you to an alternative privacy-friendly frontend. https://libredirect.github.io/
This extension is great! Thank you.
this is amazing ty

Yup, this site is very familiär tot me since i got a VPN
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
