same as title, recently got a new pc and installed my vpn from my thumb drive so i wouldnt connect to the internet at all without a VPN and i notice on this pc my connection gets blocked every time i try to go to reddit, which isnt often with fosscad being removed.

Interestingly, while they do block vpns, they don't seem to be able to block the libred instance I run on the same IP address as my VPN.

Yes, that’s because libred looks like an Android mobile app to Reddit. Content doesn’t get blocked of on there, no matter what your IP address is.

i noticed i was able to use my vpn on my phone with graphene os and had no issues connecting, only from my PC

Is there any way to auto-URL replace within a browser? ie Searching leads to a reddit thread, open on libred.

Yes there is!

Its a bit of extra work to get on some chrome based browsers but it works great once you have it set.

If you use the browser extension on Firefox it will do this automatically.
