      Reddit blocks you plain and simple if you use a vpn, and has done so for a while. Also I don’t see how VPN relates to them gatekeeping 2 subs behind a mandatory doxxing of yourself.

        Not really true. Some VPN IPs are blocked, so you’d have to select a new VPN endpoint and try again.

        Source: have done this multiple times when switching VPN endpoints.

          Huh, just went and managed to get the frontpage after 5 tries with mullvad. To be fair haven’t really tried too hard to go back on Reddit the last two years, and just assumed the blocking of IPs was stricker. Still, thanks for correcting me

        Just visited with my personal VPN, which I’d advocate anyone with technical chops to spin up. Digital Ocean droplet, been in use for years with zero maintenance, $6/mo., and no one gets my logs.
