At this point, I'm not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

Depends on which node I guess. I'm on mullvad and its not working.

One of the biggest downsides of a VPN; you share an exit node with lots of other people, only takes one bad actor to get your exit node ip banned

Even if you don't share the nodes, they know whether an ip belongs to a datacenter or not and so ban them preemptively. My IPs are all just mine and are clean as a whistle, but most of them are banned on lots of services anyway.

They don't block datacenters, they specifically block publicly available VPNs. It's not just Reddit that does this.

I have a few VPSs. I can connect to them with Wireguard and browse Reddit and the other VPN blocking services without an issue.

It depends for me. Sometimes it works first try, sometimes I have to bounce around a few locations before it'll let me in.
