At this point, I’m not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

      Depends on which node I guess. I’m on mullvad and its not working.

        One of the biggest downsides of a VPN; you share an exit node with lots of other people, only takes one bad actor to get your exit node ip banned

          Even if you don’t share the nodes, they know whether an ip belongs to a datacenter or not and so ban them preemptively. My IPs are all just mine and are clean as a whistle, but most of them are banned on lots of services anyway.

            They don’t block datacenters, they specifically block publicly available VPNs. It’s not just Reddit that does this.

            I have a few VPSs. I can connect to them with Wireguard and browse Reddit and the other VPN blocking services without an issue.

              I got the screen while using a Socks proxy on my VPS. Not even the biggest VPS provider out there…

                Interesting. Is it a free VPS or something? Your VPS provider most likely isn’t the same company that owns the datacenter.

                My VPSs are in different parts of the world and they’re in datacenters owned by different companies. My VPSs are not expensive either.

                  You must have good VPS’s then. Mine are all lowendbox-level $2-3/mo ones. But, even though I don’t have nor use either, I’m pretty sure that both reddit and netflix would tell you to get bent if you try to connect via ec2 or any other major cloud provider.

                  Also, free VPS’s?? That a thing?

                    Mine are about that price too. Maybe it’s just luck.

                    There are some free tier serverless options and such. I’ve never had a play as I’ve always feared getting a 50k bill without realising it.

                  Not a free VPS at all. I would look into it, but I don’t remember the biggest datacenters being in that country.

      It depends for me. Sometimes it works first try, sometimes I have to bounce around a few locations before it’ll let me in.
