If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

Reddit should be able to tell by the number of different accounts that connect through an IP like that that it's not a home wifi network and treat it accordingly, the question is do they actually do that (probably cuz otherwise you'd never be able to connect through a VPN lol)

    But... CG-NAT. Most people don't have their own IP, so how do you deal with this?

    Either they’ll see it like some kind of public WiFi, or there’ll be collateral damage. But keep in mind that CG-NAT usually only applies to IPv4, so if your ISP and home network support IPv6, Reddit won’t have said problem and see you IPv6 address.
