Get the LibRedirect extension. It can send you to alternate mirrors of the same info not just for reddit but a bunch of other corporate data harvesting operations pretending to be websites.
b34k@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Got that today. Changed to old.Reddit.com and no issues. Almost like new Reddit sucks

I got permabanned like 6 months ago and I didn’t make an effort to combat it, I just took it as a sign, lol.

Same, but once it went public I knew it was over.
cybervseas@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yep noticed this today. Likely a way to get people to create accounts. And try to combat scraping.
joel_feila@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I have an account and i still get it
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I have also been getting this, via forced DNS over HTTPS (DoH).
You know, a basic security procedure that keeps you safer and more private than 95% of VPNs?
When they’re saying ‘blocked by network security’, they mean ‘your connection is too secure for us to easily deanonymize you’.
Aganim@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Can you enlighten me how that would work, as that makes no sense to me from a technical standpoint?
I feel to see how Reddit would be able to know how you are communicating with a random recursive resolver on the internet. Or are you running your own recursor and trying to use DoH to access their authoritative servers?
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I am not running my own recursor, I am not scraping Reddit.
I have one browser that forces DNS over HTTPS and one that doesn’t, and the one that doesn’t, also I have yet to encounter this ‘security warning’ with.
???
Also to technically, how would this work?
It is early in the morning and I am too tired to posit a precise theory/explanation, but I also now realize I forgot to specify that my DoH setup is Oblivious DNS over HTTPS, ODoH… ie, all DNS requests and responses are routed via proxies.
So… basically, to Reddit, that may look like I am basically using a VPN, as there is no direct link from my actual IP to Reddit.
Xella@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve been getting this too since last night. I’m not using a vpn AND I’m logged into my account. Oh well. Fuck reddit.
tim@infosec.pub 2 months ago
I was gonna make a comment about how at least lemmy is “picking up steam” user wise, but then I remembered all the dipshits and children that are on reddit. Lemmy is slower but content and discussion so far has been of much higher quality.

I was wondering what this was, maybe to do with my use of ad-blocking ?
monotremata@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
The speculation I saw was that it’s just Firefox in general. Folks were saying turning off ad blocking didn’t help.
NeedyPlatter@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I also got this today, but my VPN was the reason it wasn’t working.
Reddit’s bs is pushing me to explore more of the Fediverse these days…
sapphiria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I started switching to tor-browser when they do this. Not sure why they allow tor but not vpn, but hey if it works it works.
dukatos@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Login over TOR and you’ll be shadow banned.
Xylight@lemdro.id 2 months ago
My residential IP (an inconspicuous Comcast network) gets blocked by this garbage on so many websites. I don’t know why VPNs are less suspicious to sites than my random california ip
Cerothen@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
If your able to spoof a different mac address and your ISP should assign you a different IP address
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 months ago
I’m not sure about Comcast but on Spectrum you can simply restart the modem to receive new IPv4, IPv6 addresses.

What game is it? What’s the guide? I’ve been thinking of making some guides for games and posting them to Lemmy myself for a but now. I have absolutely no follow through lol
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

I know that this is directly opposing conventional search wisdom here, but you can probably add
-site:reddit.comto your query.DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
How’s that gonna bypass the blocking tho?
thirtyfold8625@thebrainbin.org 2 months ago
Is it more important to you to access a game guide or to bypass blocking?
tal@lemmy.today 2 months ago
It won’t, but you were complaining that Reddit was always the top search result, and this will avoid that, putting other sources up there.
If you want to bypass it, you probably want a VPN terminating in a country that doesn’t have age restriction laws.

Use redlib, people.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
What game and what part? Maybe I know the answer.
DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Nvm got it. It’s Zelda TOTK, couldn’t find where Robbie was in the darkness of the underground. I googled for the coordinates and some random website showed up, its solved.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
does archive.today work with reddit or do that block that?
thirtyfold8625@thebrainbin.org 2 months ago
I suspect that there will be issues occasionally, but I don't think I see any very often.
As an example, I got https://archive.is/oc41v as an archive of https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/1cf6rzl/all_order_to_play_using_a_guide/ just now.

linkshulkdoingit69@lemmy.nz 2 months ago
I’ve all but stopped browsing and using my reddit account due to the public buyout and enshittification, and haven’t participated in that cesspool in a long time now, but now that they’ve decided to ban links to the Internet Archive I want to delete my account and data completely.
Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Reddit died just like Digg when they sold out. What a waste.
Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I kept getting blocked as a bot by Cloudflare too. It sucks to be restricted from the internet just because I care about privacy.
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 months ago
Would you be against using a redlib instance?
philpo@feddit.org 2 months ago
For the Mozilla users: There is a shitton of Tampermonkey (an extension) scripts that automatically redirect you to old.reddit.com.
Spectrism@feddit.org 2 months ago
But keep in mind that Tampermonkey is closed source, so I’d suggest using Violentmonkey or similar alternatives instead.
philpo@feddit.org 2 months ago
Fair enough!
YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 2 months ago
Visiting Reddit with tor at their onion address allows access. Sometimes it is rate limited, but you can just cycle circuits until it works
thirtyfold8625@thebrainbin.org 2 months ago
I don't recall a time when I had a problem with using https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tor/#tor-browser to see a Reddit page
corroded@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Do you happen to use an ISP that implements CGNAT? I’ve seen this error, too, and I’ve read that it’s flagging CGNAT IPs as a VPN?
DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I was using my phone, mobile data.
stinerman@midwest.social 2 months ago
They may be using CGNAT. If you check your local IP and it starts with 10, 172, or 192 when on mobile data that is the case.
kalpol@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Not here
Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I see this when behind decent NAT like an employers office.
hansolo@lemmy.today 2 months ago
FWIW, I get this all the time when I’m on a VPN. Only some nodes, but I’ve been seeing this for maybe 2 years, and getting more and more common.
Happens on old.reddit.com and regular reddit as well.
If you don’t need to be logged in, there’s plenty of redlib front ends that will work around this.
truite@jlai.lu 2 months ago
I get this while getting log in. I have to click on any link and go back on the page to charge it.
TootSweet@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I just got this too. Using old Reddit (the realest Reddit (which still isn’t saying much)) got rid of the banner and allowed loading all the content.
AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 2 months ago
I do the same thing here. I even use a bookmarklet that converts a current tab in reddit.com to an old.reddit.com link.
(code if anyone's interested)
javascript:(function() { var currentUrl = window.location.href; var newUrl = currentUrl.replace(/^https:\/\/www\.reddit\.com/, 'https://old.reddit.com'); window.location.href = newUrl; })();Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 months ago
theres a extension that does that.
