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.

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
When that goes, it’s over.
Can’t login into old without having to go through cloudflare verification can.
Its done.
It’s already over m8. Let it go, Mr. Frodo.
Oh I’ve let it go. I still visit for porn.
Let. It. Go.
Why? Theres literally an instance called lemmynsfw with tons of nudes and vids
They block VPNs there too, even with a longer text.
Try old.reddit.com
That’s being blocked, too
That’s new, interesting
No, that’s old…
They block IPv6 tunnels too.
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.
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.
The same with Mullvad
PS: Fuck Reddit!
I managed to log in with a vpn by using a third party login thing. “Sign in with Apple”. I don’t mind as much since it lets me use a proxy email.
Second comment, the only browser I got this message on my laptop is Mull, but Firefox w/o addons, Brave browser and Tor all allowed me to view reddit dot com with my VPN on. With Tor you can visit their onion site.
2023 turned web2 platforms into the Thing, and turned us into MacReady.

Yea I ran into the same thing about 2 months ago, haven’t even gone back to check it. https://lemmy.world/post/14769888
I’d just be grateful you found Lemmy. I suspect Reddit is mostly bot spam at this point hidden as real users. Sucks that so many old posts are now being gatekept, a pinnacle of the real enshittification that’s happening right now.
Oh for sure.
It’s just sometimes it feels a bit lonely in my main communities. I’m a francophone Quebecois and there isn’t a lot of us on Lemmy. Most of them didn’t seem to care about the whole API thing and don’t seem to care about the bots and the AI either.
The Quebecois are creatures of habit and one they’ve settled down on something it’s hard to make them change.
Ben non, je pense qu’on est au moins 3…
Reddit is a high proportion of tech issue search results. “just use lemmy” doesn’t solve anything

Or other Redlib instances: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md
No shit. We don’t need a weekly post.
