At this point, I'm not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.
They've been doing this for ages. Some think it's just Old Reddit either.

I’m still able to get in but I’ve only checked because of this post, lol
Edit: I use Proton (not logged in)
I've been blocked before. I would guess it happens if the IP your using got banned due to some user violation or abuse. But I don't know.
I occasionally get IP blocked with Proton. Previously I just toggled the random button a few times until it let me through, but Proton seems to have removed that in the latest update for no readily apparent reason.

How dare you not let us track your location!
Huh, interesting. I was wondering why twitter wasn't loading in my browser and it's because I was behind the duckduckgo VPN. I guess this is a thing websites will be doing now.
Only eveil websites.
Only the investors matter now
Oopsie
I started seeing this a few days ago. It will allow you to browse with a vpn after logging in, and you can log in with the vpn in use.
Funnily once logged in you can log back out and continue browsing old.reddit like normal. I wonder if it's using some kind if authentication cookie to validate browsing
Can confirm. At this point, I just want a solution to completely remove Reddit links from search results.
Unfortunately this means I can now longer find answers to some error messages.
