Tell HN: Reddit now blocks VPN access via browser, 'old' subdomain included

I'm unable to access reddit via browser when using VPN. I see an error message both on regular 'reddit.com', as well as 'old.reddit.com' subdomain.

This is new develompent. They started blocking VPN access on their regular website three months ago[1], but back then 'old' subdomain still worked; today it no longer does.

I'm testing with desktop Safari and NordVPN from EU; curious if others are seeing similar results.

[1]: I posted about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3866
