Reddit.com Network Security, Blocking VPN Connections

[underdog-03]

Hi Everyone,
I’m currently running several VPS servers with Vultr and Hetzner, where I’ve set up Xray VPN. These servers work seamlessly with most websites, and the IP addresses are neither blacklisted nor banned.

However, I’ve encountered an issue when trying to access Reddit.com. It seems that Reddit’s Network Security detects the VPN connections and blocks access. I’ve tried several approaches, including setting up Fake DNS and using Warp, but unfortunately, I’m still facing the same issue.

If anyone has a solution or workaround to bypass Reddit’s Network Security while maintaining VPN functionality??
I’d greatly appreciate your guidance

Route it through Cloudflare warp on the reddit domains so your "exit node" is a different IP

Thanks for the tip! However, as I mentioned in my previous message, I’ve already tried Warp, but unfortunately, it didn’t resolve the issue.

I just tested it, it definitely works.

If you go to old.reddit.com it will tell you what IP you're accessing from, make sure it's not your VPS

Hi Mate,

Follow the instructions below to test and see if the solution works for you:

Add geosite:reddit and domain:reddit.com to the WARP section of your JSON configuration file.
Here's an example:

{
  "type": "field",
  "outboundTag": "warp",
  "domain": [
    "geosite:reddit", // Include Reddit-related domains
    "domain:reddit.com" // Include Reddit's main domain
  ]
}

Exclude Reddit from the IPv4 Section, If you're using an IPv4 field, DO NOT INCLUDE Reddit in it. Example:

{
  "type": "field",
  "outboundTag": "IPv4",
  "domain": [
    // Avoid adding Reddit-related domains here
    "geosite:cloudflare",
    "geosite:google",
    "geosite:netflix", 
    "geosite:spotify",
    "geosite:speedtest" 
  ]
}

Save your updated JSON configuration file.
Restart and reboot your VPS.
Clear the cache of your client application to ensure accurate testing.
For instance, in V2rayNG, you can clear the cache via the app settings.

Advanced WARP Configuration (Optional)
If Reddit's network security detection issue persists, update the WARP section with the following configuration to include additional domains:

{
  "type": "field",
  "outboundTag": "warp",
  "domain": [
    "geosite:reddit", // Reddit geosite
    "domain:reddit.com", // Main Reddit domain
    "domain:redditstatic.com", // Static content
    "domain:redd.it", // Short URLs
    "domain:redditmedia.com", // Media files
    "domain:alb.reddit.com", // Load balancer
    "domain:external-preview.redd.it", // External previews
    "domain:styles.redditmedia.com", // Stylesheets
    "domain:b.thumbs.redditmedia.com", // Thumbnails
    "domain:emoji.redditmedia.com" // Emojis
  ]
}

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
If it works, please share it with others facing the same issue to help them out.

Wow, it’s working! 🎉
The advanced WARP configuration and removing Reddit from the IPv4 section made all the difference.
