Its for a guide to a part of a game I’m stuck on and reddit is always the top search result. Fuck this shit.
I just got this too. Using old Reddit (the realest Reddit (which still isn’t saying much)) got rid of the banner and allowed loading all the content.
Just started getting this too today
it’s time to start feeding game guides to gamefaqs again lol
Get the LibRedirect extension. It can send you to alternate mirrors of the same info not just for reddit but a bunch of other corporate data harvesting operations pretending to be websites.
I got permabanned like 6 months ago and I didn’t make an effort to combat it, I just took it as a sign, lol.
just over 12 months here.
Obligatory fuck /u/spez.
Same, but once it went public I knew it was over.
I also got this today, but my VPN was the reason it wasn’t working.
Reddit’s bs is pushing me to explore more of the Fediverse these days…
I’ve been getting this too since last night. I’m not using a vpn AND I’m logged into my account. Oh well. Fuck reddit.
I was wondering what this was, maybe to do with my use of ad-blocking ?
The speculation I saw was that it’s just Firefox in general. Folks were saying turning off ad blocking didn’t help.
I tried in Firefox and duckduck go. Both blocked.
I’m not getting the same error anymore, but the site still seems fucked up. At one point it loaded the desktop version of the old reddit format for no apparent reason on Firefox mobile.
Yep noticed this today. Likely a way to get people to create accounts. And try to combat scraping.
I have an account and i still get it
I have also been getting this, via forced DNS over HTTPS (DoH).
You know, a basic security procedure that keeps you safer and more private than 95% of VPNs?
Isn’t a problem on literally any other website, other than those so fucking old (or sketch) that they don’t even have an HTTPS capability.
When they’re saying ‘blocked by network security’, they mean ‘your connection is too secure for us to easily deanonymize you’.
Can you enlighten me how that would work, as that makes no sense to me from a technical standpoint?
I fail to see how Reddit would be able to know how you are communicating with a random recursive resolver on the internet. Or are you running your own recursor and trying to use DoH to access their authoritative servers?
Edit: I hope I don’t come across as harsh, it’s meant as a genuine question and not to doubt your story. 🙂
I am not running my own recursor, I am not scraping Reddit.
I have one browser that forces DNS over HTTPS and one that doesn’t, and the one that doesn’t, also I have yet to encounter this ‘security warning’ with.
???
Also to technically, how would this work?
It is early in the morning and I am too tired to posit a precise theory/explanation, but I also now realize I forgot to specify that my DoH setup is Oblivious DNS over HTTPS, ODoH… ie, all DNS requests and responses are routed via proxies.
So… basically, to Reddit, that may look like I am basically using a VPN, as there is no direct link from my actual IP to Reddit.
Ah, sounds like the issue is not DoH in that case, that would be impossible for Reddit to detect if you are using a browser. I suspect a domain gets blocked in one of your proxies, or Reddit returns alternative records to recursors they know are being used for privacy reasons.
Got that today. Changed to old.Reddit.com and no issues. Almost like new Reddit sucks
What game is it? What’s the guide? I’ve been thinking of making some guides for games and posting them to Lemmy myself for a but now. I have absolutely no follow through lol
Edit: ah I see it was Zelda totk and a specific character. If you have time I’d love to see a post with your explination. Not got a switch myself and don’t love pirating good games so it’s a no play for me
I host a copy of redlib and then use the Privacy Redirect extension to make all reddit links send me there.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Do you happen to use an ISP that implements CGNAT? I’ve seen this error, too, and I’ve read that it’s flagging CGNAT IPs as a VPN?
I was using my phone, mobile data.
They may be using CGNAT. If you check your local IP and it starts with 10, 172, or 192 when on mobile data that is the case.
Not here
Use redlib, people.
I see this when behind decent NAT like an employers office.
