I don’t like using reddit. But sometimes I have to while looking something up. However, I get this message when I have Mullvad turned on that reads You’ve been blocked by network security.
How do I bypass this? Changing VPN locations doesn’t seem to affect it. I don’t want to turn my VPN off for reddit.
Redlib is a great frontend for it, works great IMO.
Reddit is reachable on tor and has a .onion version that supports both normal and old. versions
Although I found I have problems with CAPTCHA with the .onion version
Throw the URL in tor and it should work fine.
Use redlib.
you don’t have to turn your VPN off, they want you to log in
Simplest is to just bypass Reddit.
Unfortunately I have found it to be one of the highest concentrations of higher-IQ discussions on the Internet wrt broad ranges of topics, at least historically.
Try connecting to Norway’s servers, they don’t seem to get that message.
For me it’s hit-or-miss with Nord and with Proton. As a matter of fact, works more times than not. This is on Brave browser, just to be clear.
Don’t use Reddit.
Choosing Norway as my location seems to work. Note that I’m using
rdxto browse, but the vpn blocking affects it all the same.Also, if OP is using Android but not Firefox:

And if OP is using iOS:

Either a frontend or https://f-droid.org/packages/com.tasomaniac.openwith.floss/
Does it block you even when you use old.reddit?
For android, the rdx app works great for occasional lurking
Same on IOS. Using Nord I often have to shuffle my exit node to get around the block. I’ve found connections exiting the UK to be more reliable than ones exiting in the US
Sometimes it works for me when I change my location using mullvad
There is a tampermonkey script if you google it. It will add the cookie required to bypass like you’re logged in but without you being logged in. If you hit the page it adds the cookie and refreshes. Could probably be made into a pretty self contained extension too
