A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

It'd be kind of weird if anyone on SDF doesn't know how to run a VPN client, anyway.
Imgur blocks VPNs, or at least it tries to. The images won’t load when connected to my work VPN. Seems to work fine from Mullvad though so I guess they’re not doing that great on their blocking.
I can use it over Tor. Or at least, can use it without noticeably more circuit changes than usual.
Are you sure your work doesn't just block it?
I suppose I’m not sure but I doubt it. Usually when they block something it comes with a big red warning that you’re violating corporate blah-blah by even thinking about this page and you should reconsider your questionable decision-making or some words to that effect.
For Imgur the site loads and the all-important ads load, but the images just time out.
Yeah, I'm not sure what that's about then. Maybe run a VPN over your VPN? Haha.
