Hey, so Reddit won't let you browse its site if you're using Proton VPN. - Lemmy.ca

This is what I get when going to Reddit while connected to Proton VPN, connected to a server in the same country I live in.

This is an issue with all popular VPNs on various websites. VPNs use shared IP addresses so just a few bad actors using that VPN can get it blocked for everyone. I can’t even load Google sometimes without multiple human verification checks.

This is reddit blocking all VPNs it can, and only on new reddit.

It has nothing to do with bad actors and everything to do with maximizing user data gathering.
