 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.

 Agreed

 ohh I see.. that is weird. Maybe they are blocking blocks of addresses associated with VPSs.

Pain in the ass thats for sure!
