These assholes forget that people need to use VPNs in many situations. All the removed ass corporate folks that never have to use their computers in a coffee shop, etc. Fuck spez.

It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

Started? Been having that issue for months now. It only works on VPN if you're logged on.

Certain VPN servers can go through it they haven't implemented a block for it yet. AirVPN launched some new servers that worked for a bit, but Reddit blocked them a few weeks later.

And I just discovered this some weeks ago. The "woah there, pardner!" is so cringeworthy.
