I’m still able to get in but I’ve only checked because of this post, lol

Edit: I use Proton (not logged in)

I've been blocked before. I would guess it happens if the IP your using got banned due to some user violation or abuse. But I don't know.

I started seeing this a few days ago. It will allow you to browse with a vpn after logging in, and you can log in with the vpn in use.

Funnily once logged in you can log back out and continue browsing old.reddit like normal. I wonder if it's using some kind if authentication cookie to validate browsing

They've been doing this for ages. Some think it's just Old Reddit either.

Huh, interesting. I was wondering why twitter wasn't loading in my browser and it's because I was behind the duckduckgo VPN. I guess this is a thing websites will be doing now.
