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

    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.
