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 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.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Got that today. Changed to old.Reddit.com and no issues. Almost like new Reddit sucks
Truly the new Coke of websites.
Lately I have been getting blocked as a bot by Cloudflare too. It sucks to be restricted from the internet just because I care about privacy.
I’ve all but stopped browsing and using my reddit account due to the public buyout and enshittification, and haven’t participated in that cesspool in a long time now, but now that they’ve decided to ban links to the Internet Archive I want to delete my account and data completely.
Reddit died just like Digg when they sold out. What a waste.
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 gonna make a comment about how at least lemmy is “picking up steam” user wise, but then I remembered all the dipshits and children that are on reddit. Lemmy is slower but content and discussion so far has been of much higher quality.
“Higher Quality”
Comments be like:
i consider myself an anarchist and i agree with many of the opinions people have on here, but like holy shit i just want to look at stuff that isn’t politics for once. like i feel like that’s all lemmy has. not that reddit is much better but there’s some hidden gem communities on there, but ive yet to find any here
I mean tbf, politics is all that is on a lot of people’s minds. Americans especially. Its kind of the front and center thing with TFG in charge. I’m just elated to see actual discussion, angry as it may be, instead of an endless chain of (Removed). It’s nostalgic and raw. It reminds me of the old days.
FWIW, I get this all the time when I’m on a VPN. Only some nodes, but I’ve been seeing this for maybe 2 years, and getting more and more common.
Happens on old.reddit.com and regular reddit as well.
If you don’t need to be logged in, there’s plenty of redlib front ends that will work around this.
Librewolf and Zen browser started showing the same message from yesterday.
Librewolf is cool
My residential IP (an inconspicuous Comcast network) gets blocked by this garbage on so many websites. I don’t know why VPNs are less suspicious to sites than my random california ip
If your able to spoof a different mac address and your ISP should assign you a different IP address
I’m not sure about Comcast but on Spectrum you can simply restart the modem to receive new IPv4, IPv6 addresses.
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.
fuck spez
Same, but once it went public I knew it was over.
Im getting this message today and only in Mobile. Now what will i do for 90% of my work day
Read The Three Body Problem and tell the aliens to come here.
(If you have android, you could pirate Into The Breach, Stardew Valley, or Slay the Spire. Very fun games! 😉)
I host a copy of redlib and then use the Privacy Redirect extension to make all reddit links send me there.
it’s time to start feeding game guides to gamefaqs again lol
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.
I do the same thing here. I even use a bookmarklet that converts a current tab in reddit.com to an old.reddit.com link.
(code if anyone’s interested)
javascript:(function() { var currentUrl = window.location.href; var newUrl = currentUrl.replace(/^https:\/\/www\.reddit\.com/, 'https://old.reddit.com'); window.location.href = newUrl; })();theres a extension that does that.
I know. I also know not everyone likes installing extensions in their browser because they can be a security risk, and they can even change your browser fingerprint (which makes your browser more trackable), compared to bookmarklets, which do not.
There’s the option to use something like violentmonkey with a script for site redirecting, if you prefer something automatic
