I don’t like using reddit. But sometimes I have to while looking something up. However, I get this message when I have Mullvad turned on that reads You’ve been blocked by network security.

How do I bypass this? Changing VPN locations doesn’t seem to affect it. I don’t want to turn my VPN off for reddit.

    Giving this a try. Seems like a consistent method across machines and browsers if it works. Changing servers is a hassle and redirecting traffic to a frontend is not the best solution for privacy.

      Ooh, one more thing. Reddit has two different blocks. One is this network security one. This is client side and therefore, uBlock can bypass it with ease. There’s another one reddit has, but its server side and it shows up if malicious activity have exited from the same public IP your VPN is originating from. So simply changing your ‘origin’ is a solution in this case. However, the latter type of block is much more rare
