Reddit is blocking VPN users from its site

Reddit has been blocking users who are using VPNs from its site unless they log into their Reddit accounts. Why is that? And what to do?

You cannot access reddit without either an account, or turning off your VPN. Effectively meaning that it’s difficult to access reddit privately, as they can either track you with IP or with account.

Even alternative frontends like RDX for reddit by @[email protected] don’t solve this issue.

I can’t believe more people haven’t left because of that.

    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.
