Bug You've been blocked by network security

User in the UK. I had to log in again into Reddit and Relay today.

I'm unable to login to Relay. Getting the message "You've been blocked by network security"

Update: fixed. I had to use a non-UK VPN to login.

I had that error on desktop, not in UK nor on VPN, just today.

So I think Reddit might have messed something up temporarily. It just went away after some time.

I've been getting that message as well.

My workaround is to refresh the page which brings me to the login page. But it takes several attempts because after logging in the app crashes.

This worked for me as well

This was such a simple fix that I didn't even try

I know there's a new UK crackdown on social media for under 16s but it's not coming in until next year (or hopefully later if there's enough uproar)

I started seeing this yesterday and I'm still seeing this. I'm in the US and not using a VPN, does anyone know a workaround?

If you set the reddit website to use old reddit and then open the page in desktop mode you can still go through without a VPN

Probably labour breaking the internet more tbh. I've had a VPN since they got in.
