I got this when I was using rif is fun and a VPN. Problem is that I don't use a VPN service. Rather it's just a wireguard service running on my own VPS. So I don't know how Reddit figured out how to rate limit that.
They might just be blanket throttling IP addresses associated with VP servers. But that is kinda insane.
Yes but blocking or flagging ("risk assessment") IP-ranges of bigger hosting providers is sadly pretty common.
My VPS' IP address seems very acceptable to google and cloudflare. I don't know what problem reddit would have with it.
Regardless I do first need to verify whether it was a temporary glitch or I an actually being rate limited.
they're limiting also TOR exit nodes it's insane how they want the complete device fingerprint
