      FYI, most Mullvad exit nodes are blocked by big services.

      You have to try different ones to find one that works. I have found just a couple that work for, for example, Netflix or Reddit.

      Proton and PIA seemed to be easier, I think they have more exits and/or rotate the IP addresses of the exits.

      I like Mullvad as a company better so I use them.

        I use Mullvad servers in South America and Southeast Asia for youtube and it works. No issues with Netflix with the servers in Europe and Asia that I use.

        One of my reddit accounts was locked/suspended when I logged in though, and I can’t unlock it because it doesn’t have an email attached to it for account recovery. But just browsing isn’t an issue with old.reddit.

          reddit has always been able to detect vpn/vps, its just they dont ban you immediately, if they even detect your IP, or fingerprinting pattern it usually a shadowban. thats why people used other methods to evade it.
