A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I’m on iOS 17.1.1 using Safari. I also have Proton VPN enabled in the states but if I try to visit any page on the website I see this:
If I disable it, the page will load.
Edit: as per a comment, this may not be a VPN only issue.
Additional edit: Reddit has written an official post stating it was an issue after production code deployment and was reverted
It appears as if reddit is trying so hard to fuck everyone off the site. And yet so many people aren't paying attention and just visit it every time.

Are AI using VPNs now?
Those little buggers!
I Imagine they’ll use whatever connections are provided to them by their AI overlords.
The VPn may be necessary if their IP address ranges are being blocked, or it could be to get around an API limit?
More likely, they blocked IP addresses belonging to a cloud service provider which happened to also be used by the VPN service.
