A few months ago I was unnecessarily banned on my reddit account first, but then even if I use different computers and a different Internet, it somehow realizes that it's me and bans me. When I open my account, there is no problem, but as soon as I write something, it is banned.

I managed to get round a permaban by:

  • Getting mullvad VPN
  • installing mullvad browser.
  • setting it up such that this browser is the only thing that routes through mullvad (everything else on my system goes through Nord). For regular browsing I use Firefox and Nord.
  • creating a free proton mail account within this browser (unfortunately I had to verify it with a real email :( but proton do say it's just for verification)
  • sign up to Reddit.
  • all I use mullvad for is this browser and my IPTV streams all paid for with bitcoin

    I'll try, thank u, but it's very interesting that they recognize me even on a different device.

    I'm no expert but I assume advertisers (or someone) has a fingerprint of you for each browser, so like if you log into your Google account on your mobile browser, you're obviously the same person who logs into that YouTube account on your desktop browser.
