Reddit has been blocking users who are using VPNs from its site unless they log into their Reddit accounts. Why is that? And what to do?
You cannot access reddit without either an account, or turning off your VPN. Effectively meaning that it’s difficult to access reddit privately, as they can either track you with IP or with account.
Even alternative frontends like RDX for reddit by @[email protected] don’t solve this issue.
I can’t believe more people haven’t left because of that.
You're viewing a single thread.
Which VPN are you using? In most cases it works for me depending on the country I choose.
Happens on corporate VPN too. Morons are blocking themselves. Imagine a corpo user looking for Excel formulas for work and reddit it's like, 'fuck outta here'.
it does, reddit blocks vpn where reddit is not really censored by the government. i think thats why they may allow VPN some countries that may restrict its usage.
Admittedly, I only use exit nodes in my state, but they do block Mullvad and Air.
Yes they automatically ban vpn users most of the time, I think that's why the OF accounts use rotating proxies, mobile proxy servers, they couple it with anti detection browsers, they have to change ips, or reddit catches on. This is from another site, even they are getting caught still, due to redditsn recent ban wave, I also noticed many subs had increased their filtering of "spammy comments"
they do block Mullvad
Not well enough it seems. Still reachable for me on some exits, but not all.
Yeah for sure. I'm not motivated enough to see the content over there though so if my current exit node is blocked I don't even bother with trying to view whatever it was.
