This is what I get when going to Reddit while connected to Proton VPN, connected to a server in the same country I live in.
Use Redlib with LibRedirect to automatically redirect all Reddit links. Libreddit and Teddit are broken.
Private Internet Access is a solid VPN but is definitely flagged by any sites pulling this bullshit.
Really? I use PIA all the time and haven’t had any issues with normal internet usage including reddit. Wirst I get is google making me check a captcha box once in a while.
PIA was bought out and is currently owned by an ad company.
Well shit. Gotta find a new one then.

Any suggestions that haven’t been? I don’t stay in the loop, I think I heard that they had been but so had everyone else, basically.
I’ve been using Proton for 4ish years now and like it. Email, VPN, drive, and calendar. I use something else instead of proton pass, but just for diversity.
Yeah I already have web/mail hosting, and the rest self hosted. How is proton with getting flagged by sites and swimming in captchas or outright blocks? I kinda just assumed they all struggled with that these days.
Not just them but old.reddit.com works fine usually.
VPNs in general and for quite a long time now. You can use LibRedirect to use a different frontend (please note that a lot of the alternative instances for other sites are pretty much broken).
Wow, it’s the same for Mozilla VPN (Mulvulla) which doesn’t even pretent you’re from a different country.
Works for me. Maybe try a different server?
You have to be logged in for it to work.
Same for mullvad. Most servers are blocked, although you can still find some that aren’t.
Reddit sucks now anyway so fuck 'em.
I think there’s an Ublock rule to get around this.
That would surprise me. Companies like Akamai maintain very up-to-date lists of Tor exit nodes, commercial VPN exit nodes, etc. My employer uses Akamai and blocks all traffic from Tor given the huge volume of malicious traffic coming from it. It would be trivial for us to block VPN traffic as well if we wanted to. Those blocks occur on Akamai’s systems before it ever makes it to ours. No browser-based tool is going to get around an IP based block like that.
No idea if Reddit is doing something similar here, but my guess is they are.
If you just want to browse Reddit and have a user script extension installed, you can use LibReddit Redirector to browse via a third-party frontend without turning off your VPN.
My experience with LibReddit:
“Failed to parse page JSON data: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0 Reddit Status Head back home?”
LibReddit is broken, use Redlib instead
Depends on the server. I rarely am over there, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t
2023 turned web2 platforms into the Thing, and turned us into MacReady.
(Instagram: I was always the Thing! blargghhhgalzklgrkffz)
When that goes, it’s over.
It’s already over m8. Let it go, Mr. Frodo.
Oh I’ve let it go. I still visit for porn.
Why? Theres literally an instance called lemmynsfw with tons of nudes and vids
Let. It. Go.
Can’t login into old without having to go through cloudflare verification can.
Its done.
They block VPNs there too, even with a longer text.
I have Proton VPN on my phone, I use RedReader app to browse reddit, works fine. I havent used my laptop in a long time, I’ll have to see what happens, has Proton VPN also. I have a paid plan with them.
Try old.reddit.com
That’s being blocked, too
That’s new, interesting
No, that’s old…
Just make a throwaway account. The VPNs work fine when you’re signed in.
I know that’s not an acceptable answer for some but if they want to associate your activity with a throwaway account, let them, because they still have no way of knowing which person on the VPN is using that throwaway account.
It disables sign in on my VPN with “unknown error.”
No I deleted my Reddit account for a reason. I just go sneak sometimes to see what’s happening in my old community. Sometimes steal some posts and put them up here.
