I don't like using reddit. But sometimes I have to while looking something up. However, I get this message when I have Mullvad turned on that reads You've been blocked by network security.

How do I bypass this? Changing VPN locations doesn't seem to affect it. I don't want to turn my VPN off for reddit.

if you just want to read, you're probably better off with using a libreddit or redlib frontend. libredirect firefox addon can automatically use that. that way posts may load faster, you'll read it on a lightweight site, and reddit won't be able to track your usage
