I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up.
I use Proton because it has a “suite” of products under a single subscription, but that benefit is losing it’s allure as some of their products are pretty shitty from a user experience perspective, their customer support is atrocious, and they don’t seem to pay any attention to what their users actually want.
Does anyone track known VPN servers? Is there a specific provider that causes less problems? Does anyone test different VPNs for detection?
Thinking about cancelling my subscription and moving to Mullvad.
Yes that sort of thing seems to happen frequently with these type of platforms. LibReddit, Piped, Invidious, Bibliogram, etc.
It’s too much hassle to constantly be trying to chase down a functioning instance.
LibRedirect automates most of that for you. Also, I’ve been using safereddit.com for over 6 months and never had any issues. Just try it out and see if it works for you :)
How does it do that?
Already did, did not work at all. Constantly redirected me to broken webpages.
It fetches an updated list of working instances. It also has a built-in tool that let’s you ping all instances and remove the broken ones. I’m pretty sure this will work well, even if you remove all instances except for safereddit.com. That’s another way you can use it: Just find one working instance and remove all the others.
Maybe that’s new since I last used it…
