I don’t like using reddit. But sometimes I have to while looking something up. However, I get this message when I have Mullvad turned on that reads You’ve been blocked by network security.
How do I bypass this? Changing VPN locations doesn’t seem to affect it. I don’t want to turn my VPN off for reddit.
you don’t have to turn your VPN off, they want you to log in
Here’s a way to bypass it with uBlock Origin https://cybernotes.xyz/osint/Social_Media_Bypasses.html#reddit---network-security-block-bypass
Giving this a try. Seems like a consistent method across machines and browsers if it works. Changing servers is a hassle and redirecting traffic to a frontend is not the best solution for privacy.
Ooh, one more thing. Reddit has two different blocks. One is this network security one. This is client side and therefore, uBlock can bypass it with ease. There’s another one reddit has, but its server side and it shows up if malicious activity have exited from the same public IP your VPN is originating from. So simply changing your ‘origin’ is a solution in this case. However, the latter type of block is much more rare
True ^^ Hope it’ll help. Stay safe.
Use redlib.

Simplest is to just bypass Reddit.
Throw the URL in tor and it should work fine.
For android, the rdx app works great for occasional lurking
Sometimes it works for me when I change my location using mullvad
Choosing Norway as my location seems to work. Note that I’m using
rdxto browse, but the vpn blocking affects it all the same.Don’t use Reddit.
if you just want to read, you’re probably better off with using a libreddit or redlib frontend. libredirect firefox addon can automatically use that. that way posts may load faster, you’ll read it on a lightweight site, and reddit won’t be able to track your usage
For me it’s hit-or-miss with Nord and with Proton. As a matter of fact, works more times than not. This is on Brave browser, just to be clear.
Try connecting to Norway’s servers, they don’t seem to get that message.
Either a frontend or https://f-droid.org/packages/com.tasomaniac.openwith.floss/
Redlib is a great frontend for it, works great IMO.
