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.

    I can tell you they aren’t just banning IPs for abuse. I have run an OpenVPN server on Linode for years. I am the only one using that IP and it was blocked at some point. They are most likely blocking all known VPS IP blocks. OpenAI does the same thing with Cloudflare for ChatGPT.

      Yep, I do the same because of my ISP. I run a WG server from AWS lightsail and only one using the IP. I’m not as blocked as other nodes but I’m still blocked on a few things. Plus eBay doesn’t really work to well.

          I get nothing but the we searched everywhere page. It’s really annoying, as sometimes I’ll get a few pages of results and then it goes to that page. And other times it’s just straight to that page. Home page loads completely fine though.
