Reddit now blocking VPNs.

Anyone else running into this? It can be circumvented by using old.reddit.com; for now. 

However, media is still blocked. No idea what else may be.

The very first line says your User-Agent string is empty. You can check it at a place like this one: https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent/

 

If you have any plugin that modifies the User-Agent string, try disabling it for Reddit. As far as I read the message, they're not blocking VPNs, they're simply asking you to log in, if you use one.

That website doesn't work with VPNs.

If you think I was a user who had that, do you not think I'm would also be a user who knows to do that to trouble shoot? Just maybe?

What is the need to be so condescending? You're the one asking for help here.

 

Moreover, everything you've said here is incorrect.

 

1. Yes, it does say that, and it quite likely is.

2. That website does work with VPNs.

3. People have done a lot more without knowing s**t.

4. It isn't.

It works fine for me using Mullvad, with both new and old reddit, while not logged in.

Looks like there is to much traffic coming from the same ip cuz they want you to contact them on a ratelimit email adress
