Oddbean new post about login | logout I don't get why reddit works just fine on mullvad but blocks my icelandic VPS ip... Fine but also wtf
Someone using that ip did something naughty and it got banned. Maybe, idk 🤷♂️ I used to like reddit, something happened for me in the last 3 months that got me out
Only I use that IP, it's exclusive to my private VPS
Maybe it's a recycled dhcp address. Did it work previously and then stop one day? It's also possible that reddit is just blocking an entire block of IPs because of lazy administration and you got caught up in it.
First time I checked was yesterday, but I have this VPS for more than 1 year now.
What does it actually tell you? Don't meddle in shitcoins. Reddit, X, Facebook, LinkedIn are all fiat based shitcoins. They are not worthy of your energy and focus.
Wrong
Hmmm it's blocking me on mullvad 👀
yeah alot of Mullvads IPs seem to be blocked by reddit. Probably your icelandic one hasnt been flagged ... yet
It's the other way around, I'm not blocked using mullvad but I'm blocked on my VPS that only I use.
Maybe it's in a known/suspected Datacenter IP range?
That's my theory, but if it's true, it's so fucking arbitrary
Another possibility is that you are not the first one "renting" this "dedicated" IP and your predecessor did something "wrong".
Possible but I've been renting for more than 1 year now. If an IP can get tainted for longer than that, that's really ridiculous.
Reddit also blocks some mullvad servers
Apparently not all
Got blocked multiple times and am using the VPN 24/7
