lol I got banned for lightly harassing a nerd with an Israeli flag profile pic posting on r/cats

Ain’t been back since anyway, I’m doing my part!

The day they went public they also blocked old.reddit.com for VPN users, previously it was accessible that way

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

old.reddit.com for VPN users

I use a old and a VPN and I've never been blocked if I'm signed in.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

I just tested it with PIA (not an endorsement, I bought five years back when it was good and didn’t know about mulvad) and it worked. They might just be blocking specific ones or something.

Did you try a VPN node from a different country? Might just be where you're at.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mullvlad VPN. Doesn't matter where the node is at

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

On Mullvad, I've found that servers beginning with a certain number are usually not blocked. Not saying the exact number so that it stays semi-secret, if it is even a secret.

Basically, a whole set of x** seems to be unblocked, where x is a number. So the 100s, 200s, 300s, 400s, or 500s. Try it out! Or DM me and I'll just say the range.

If you are signed in you can access reddit via a VPN. If you're signed out you get that smug snew image. Its not just reddit either: Instagram, twitter, Facebook, all fuck with you if you arrive via a VPN IP Address. Insta will say there is an error. Twitter redirects you to login. Facebook will just ban your account. Reddit I think will also ban your account if you're even remotely "bad".

And on that day, nothing was lost.

[–] EcoMaowist@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

I'm on Mullvad and this happens with every country available except for the UK servers. I usually just use Libredirect though because redlib still works with VPN.

[–] Slavoj_Zuckerberg@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

You gotta make your own VPN by installing a ras-pi in the drop ceiling of a bathroom somewhere with free Wi-Fi, alligator clips on the lights for power.

[–] Lerios@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

yeah, thats what switched me from using it occasionally to never.

the odd occasion i go one some craft subreddit and have to turn my fucking vpn off for embroidery resources i radicalize all over again
