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.

    Btw you can also use normal third-party clients with your custom developer API key, there’s a patched version of Apollo for iOS/iPadOS (you can download it from AltStore using their custom repository, it’s explained on the website) and ReVanced offers a patch for Infinity on Android. The patched Apollo version has a quick guide on how to get an API Key, it works with all apps that support these custom keys though:

    1. Sign into your Reddit account and go to the link above (reddit.com/prefs/apps)
    2. Click the “are you a developer? create an app…” button
    3. Fill in the fields
      • Name: anything
      • Choose “Installed App”
      • Description: anything
      • About url: anything
      • Redirect uri: apollo://reddit-oauth
    4. Click “create app”
    5. After creating the app you’ll get a client identifier which will be a bunch of random characters.
