First time I’ve seen this sitting behind my shitty VPN. If the frontpage /r/normaldayinrussia posts didn’t make you raise an eyebrow knowing their denying access to people for running a VPN should at least make you second guess.
Get out now, save yourself.
this is either a bug or ratelimit (both happen very often, second issue mostly applies to vpns), they’re not intentionally doing this to stop vpns
They’re blocking VPNs to stop people scraping the site to avoid API fees.
yep and that’s what’s causing the ratelimit/ip ban. the ip was probably used for mass scraping
I’m going to not believe you given the circumstances. I tried every 15 mins for at least 6 hours and I’ve also been using reddit for a fair amount of time to never experience it.
