Is this new? This is the first time Reddit has ever flagged me for using a VPN, trying to force me into signing in/up.

I was just following some search links, from DDG.

    One reason I’ve stopped using reddit entirely. They require fingerprinting you. If you do a good job and they can’t fingerprint you, you get that screen. It is NOT blocked by IP of the VPN as some here have said. You can easily see the content through the same VPN while not logged on as long as you have enough identifiable tracking information to reasonably guess who you are.

    It’s a great test now. If I’m ever let into view reddit now, I must have seriously screwed up somewhere in my security chain.
