For a while Reddit dot com has been blocking my browser since I use a VPN, but old reddit was still functional for me. Although I closed my reddit account just after the API-exodus, I still frequent the niche communities which has hyper-specific topics discussed.
Found to my surprise today that they are now blocking old reddit as well if I use a VPN.
Never thought that [old].[reddit].[com] would one day show that f’kin “Whoa there Pardner” page.
Fuck you spez. Really, fuck you.
Privacy Guides has a note on their page about Private frontends:
The Old Reddit website doesn’t require as much JavaScript as the new Reddit website does, but it has recently blocked access to IP addresses reserved for public VPNs. You can use Old Reddit in conjunction with the Tor Onion that was launched in October 2022 at https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqnwfj4ooad.onion.
Alternatively you can just use Redlib as described in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/14141628
