  Too bad VPN server addresses are on-sight to reddit’s IP blocking strategy for years now. For whatever good internet choice you make, reddit reciprocates with an equally bad one

    What’s funny about that is the VPN I use I saw advertised on Reddit. I wonder if these companies know that they ban users for using their products? Well I guess they don’t really don’t care.

      Other companies: Thank you for buying from our sponsors! Here’s a code for 15% off!

      Reddit: You bought from our sponsors? Lol, you’re banned.

    Remember when you didn’t even need an email address to sign up for reddit?

    If I need to look at that site, my LibRedirect extension sends me to a privacy focused mirror

    Mullvad has couple of USA exits that don’t get blocked by Reddit. Texas and D.C., I think.

      so does nord but to me the point of using a VPN is to get my traffic exit point out of the US and the eyes countries

        I usually use US because I like the localization of websites more that way.

    Blocking VPNs from posting or vviewing content too?

      if you’re not logged in and using a VPN server that’s not in the US. If you want to post, it’s not an issue but if you want to browse logged out they block you.
