I’m using Proton VPN all the time with Reddit, servers from all over the world: Europe, Asia, Africa. I have 365 day streak achievement on day 320 today, so at least those past 320 days I’ve been using Reddit with Proton VPN every day (I also have killswitch permanently enabled). Also used two other lesser known providers years ago with no issues. Keep in mind though, I’m only ever using paid servers. Wouldn’t surprise me if those few free ones are banned everywhere. It takes one user to misbehave from IP to get that IP banned.

They definitely can detect that your IP is from a data center and deduce that you are using a VPN, so they will block you.

Sorry, I don’t have one I can share.

PS: try to register an account without VPN, then log in, then turn on VPN and see how it goes.

Then what’s the point? Using a VPN is so they don’t know who you are. If you register with your real IP, they would just store the IP forever.

You can use mobile internet or wifi in McDonald’s then. I’m personally using VPN mainly to protect myself from my ISP and local MITM.
