If you want to use reddit, just find a redlib instance.
A lot of them are getting blocked too, presumably by datacenter IPs. I suppose it's possible to run it off a residential IP.
Yeah it's annoying AF to get around it, I sadly gave up and logged in.
(me using a VPN and this frontend https://rdx.overdevs.com/subreddit.html?r=popular)
What's this about a block now?
Yeah I've had to switch servers a lot to view helpful reddit posts I find online
Oh, I just reconnect to different Mullvad servers until it connects to one that isn't flagged by Reddit, on the rare occasion I need info from a Reddit post.
Unfortunately for Reddit, I am more stubborn than they are, and will quite happily spend 5 minutes doing that instead of registering an account/going without a VPN. And if they "fix" that, I'm quite certain I could find a workaround.
They seem to not only use IP based techniques - they block me if I use wireguard to my dedicated server (who's public IP range has been mine for longer than wireguard exists and almost as long as Reddit exists) while I can access it directly from that IP without issues. And if I dial back into my home network it's basically 50/50 if it works or not.
they have vcaptcha v3, which im told it silently records you in the background and check for botting behavior, plus if you login with the same vpn+ip that has compromised reddit accounts. theres anti-detection browsers, mobile proxies, and additional need to let your account simmer after creating.
I have no account logged in and use FF private mode,but yeah. It's annoying.
Without the services I mentioned it's pretty hard to get around, and people use of on reddit uses those methods, and they pay, and it's not 100%. I used to create new accounts at a university library computer, so they almost never catch on if one receives a subreddit ban. Their AI looks for posting pattern writing style as well, so they are looking at everything you do, not just IP.
Here I am thinking I was a controversial asshole.. nope, just a security nerd. I wonder if NordVPN's new nordwhisper protocol will circumvent some of this?
I've also wondered if they've collected hardware hashes of the actual computer beyond IPv4. Never heard of CaptchaV3.. I'll have to read up on that.
i use it with proton vpn every day because my country's incompetent slop government blocks access to it otherwise
I use it with NordVPN all the time
Works fine for me but Mbin > reddit
It's changed a few times. It's been blocked without login, then later, to a bunch of random interrupts and resets.
People have strange ideas about netsec, like lemmy.
YouTube too
