This is what I get when going to Reddit while connected to Proton VPN, connected to a server in the same country I live in.
Works for me. Maybe try a different server?
You have to be logged in for it to work.
Or other Redlib instances: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md
Proton has a bajillion servers. It shouldn’t take long to find one that isn’t blocked. Save it as a profile.
Same for mullvad. Most servers are blocked, although you can still find some that aren’t.
Reddit sucks now anyway so fuck 'em.
I think there’s an Ublock rule to get around this.
That would surprise me. Companies like Akamai maintain very up-to-date lists of Tor exit nodes, commercial VPN exit nodes, etc. My employer uses Akamai and blocks all traffic from Tor given the huge volume of malicious traffic coming from it. It would be trivial for us to block VPN traffic as well if we wanted to. Those blocks occur on Akamai’s systems before it ever makes it to ours. No browser-based tool is going to get around an IP based block like that.
No idea if Reddit is doing something similar here, but my guess is they are.
VPNs in general and for quite a long time now. You can use LibRedirect to use a different frontend (please note that a lot of the alternative instances for other sites are pretty much broken).
Use Redlib with LibRedirect to automatically redirect all Reddit links. Libreddit and Teddit are broken.
Wow, it’s the same for Mozilla VPN (Mulvulla) which doesn’t even pretent you’re from a different country.

2023 turned web2 platforms into the Thing, and turned us into MacReady.

When that goes, it’s over.
They block VPNs there too, even with a longer text.
Can’t login into old without having to go through cloudflare verification can.
Its done.
It’s already over m8. Let it go, Mr. Frodo.
Oh I’ve let it go. I still visit for porn.
Let. It. Go.
Why? Theres literally an instance called lemmynsfw with tons of nudes and vids
The internet is becoming worst and worst to use everyday with a VPN. Using Private Browsing… on Firefox? That’s a triple signal for you to fuck off from any stock traded company’s website.
I use the Switzerland server if it or another site does this.
This is an issue with all popular VPNs on various websites. VPNs use shared IP addresses so just a few bad actors using that VPN can get it blocked for everyone. I can’t even load Google sometimes without multiple human verification checks.
This is reddit blocking all VPNs it can, and only on new reddit.
It has nothing to do with bad actors and everything to do with maximizing user data gathering.
Let’s not pretend it’s all about “bad actors”. They don’t want masked traffic at all, the “bad actors” gives them an excuse.
And we know this because if the IP was the issue, they wouldn’t let you use after signing in. Any of these VPNs are just fine as long as you’re logged into reddit and identified.
It seems to me like they blocked all VPN users.
I have the same experience on Mozilla VPN and I didn’t use reddit for a year.
If you just want to browse Reddit and have a user script extension installed, you can use LibReddit Redirector to browse via a third-party frontend without turning off your VPN.
My experience with LibReddit:
“Failed to parse page JSON data: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0 Reddit Status Head back home?”
LibReddit is broken, use Redlib instead
