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
of course r*ddit uses the image of a smug little prick for this
yes
fuck reddit
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 have the continuum client literally only to view articles. I don’t post, comment or otherwise participate. A lot of research I do keeps returning Reddit threads and I just need the safest way to view them. Otherwise I’m blocked for my security measures.
i hate reddit too but we cant scoff at the amount of info it holds
Yes.
Same here with ProtonVPN
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.
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.
If you use the browser extension on Firefox it will do this automatically.
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 is amazing ty
This extension is great! Thank you.
Yup, this site is very familiär tot me since i got a VPN
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 don’t have any issues. I always have VPN on and I can access Reddit without issues.
Which one do you use?
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.
