First time I've seen this sitting behind my shitty VPN. If the frontpage /r/normaldayinrussia posts didn't make you raise an eyebrow knowing their denying access to people for running a VPN should at least make you second guess.
FYI going to old reddit will bypass these blocks. To me that's fine anyway as I find 'new' reddit looks like hot garbage so I replace 'www' with 'old'. As long as old is still active, I'll always set my redirectors to it.
