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.
Use redlib.
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.
Redlib is a great frontend for it, works great IMO.
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.
Here’s a way to bypass it with uBlock Origin https://cybernotes.xyz/osint/Social_Media_Bypasses.html#reddit---network-security-block-bypass
Giving this a try. Seems like a consistent method across machines and browsers if it works. Changing servers is a hassle and redirecting traffic to a frontend is not the best solution for privacy.
Throw the URL in tor and it should work fine.
Reddit is reachable on tor and has a .onion version that supports both normal and old. versions
you don’t have to turn your VPN off, they want you to log in
Try connecting to Norway’s servers, they don’t seem to get that message.
Also, if OP is using Android but not Firefox:

And if OP is using iOS:

It might be fingerprifting your browser. Give TorBrowser a try

if you just want to read, you’re probably better off with using a libreddit or redlib frontend. libredirect firefox addon can automatically use that. that way posts may load faster, you’ll read it on a lightweight site, and reddit won’t be able to track your usage
Sometimes it works for me when I change my location using mullvad
Does it block you even when you use old.reddit?
On Mac I’ve found Safari gets thru every time for some reason where chrome and Firefox do not. I might have the prevent IP tracking setting enabled or whatever but I never have to turn off my VPN (nor sign in) if the other browsers get flagged. Ymmv.
