So from what I can tell, Reddit picks up on stuff like IP, but they also look at screen size and your browser too.
It’s easy enough to botch the latter two, but it’s tough getting a new IP. The issue is that when I use any free VPNs, they presumably have a crap ton of traffic going through them already, and I think Reddit has probably blacklisted most of them.
Has anyone on here had success with a paid, higher quality VPN? I’m not power user or anything, so honestly if just getting like a free trial for Nord or Surfshark or something would allow me to make a couple posts every now and then, that would be spectacular.
Having successfully done this here’s how it works. I used a VPN that was part of my antivirus subscription. It came with it without additional charge. This antivirus sub also comes with their own browser which I had never used before. If you are using a browser that you had previously used for reddit - make sure you have deleted all reddit cookies, make sure you have deleted any reddit browser extensions. And make sure you have deleted all reddit passwords that may be saved by that browser. Use an email for confirmation that you have never used before for reddit. This works, but if you ever try to access reddit via your phone or without using the VPN you will be banned for ban evasion.
A storm descends on a small town, and the downpour soon turns into a flood. As the waters rise, the local preacher kneels in prayer on the church porch, surrounded by water. By and by, one of the townsfolk comes up the street in a canoe.
“Better get in, Preacher. The waters are rising fast.”
“No,” says the preacher. “I have faith in the Lord. He will save me.”
Still the waters rise. Now the preacher is up on the balcony, wringing his hands in supplication, when another guy zips up in a motorboat.
“Come on, Preacher. We need to get you out of here. The levee’s gonna break any minute.”
Once again, the preacher is unmoved. “I shall remain. The Lord will see me through.”
After a while the levee breaks, and the flood rushes over the church until only the steeple remains above water. The preacher is up there, clinging to the cross, when a helicopter descends out of the clouds, and a state trooper calls down to him through a megaphone.
“Grab the ladder, Preacher. This is your last chance.”
Once again, the preacher insists the Lord will deliver him.
And, predictably, he drowns.
A pious man, the preacher goes to heaven. After a while he gets an interview with God, and he asks the Almighty, “Lord, I had unwavering faith in you. Why didn’t you deliver me from that flood?”
God shakes his head. “What did you want from me? I sent you two boats and a helicopter.”
nice one but I was hoping for a NordVPN zing
Why is this getting downvoted? Literally like half of the posts on here are about dodging permabans
He calls Nord of all things high quality which by it self deserves a downvote. YouTube bait VPNs have become a major fucking problem.
I’m just speculating, but I think most people here have put Reddit behind them. I doubt they’re interested in helping people stay shackled to that garage place…
I think because you said NordVPN is high quality
I mean I’m no VPN expert, I just know that it costs money so I assumed it was better than free ones
try TorBrowser, it might defeat the fingerprinting. as for the VPN, try Azire. they’re cheap and reliable
I’ve tried Tor and unfortunately I’ve found that out of all the methods, it unfortunately gets me banned instantaneously the most frequently. I’ll definitely have to try Azire though, it has a free trial too
Might work if you spring for the custom feature where you get your own unique IP. But Redfin will recognize VPN IPs
Doesn’t the ban based on account activities instead or IP addresses?
Yes, but they also use IP addresses to try to stop banned users from opening new accounts.
