Doesn't reddit block VPNs as well?




Works for me most of the time. A couple of months ago, there was a period where a subset of the exit IPs were blocked for a short period each.

IME, only if you're not logged in.

i tunnel my internet through linode with wireguard - reddit blocks me if i'm not signed in.

with soundcloud, i just got a generic 403 from cloudfront

combine that with country-level internet filter, the internet is getting harder and harder to use :(


Well, most sites are going to block VPS IP spaces (which are published online) as it's ~100% bot activity.

ah if they are using cloudfront, they must be using the AWS managed WAF rule, which is pretty bad.

I used that once and got in trouble with the client since the ruleset was over blocking.
