It’d be kind of weird if anyone on SDF doesn’t know how to run a VPN, anyway.

Is it really because “Imgur is cancer,” or are you just a UK person butthurt that you got geoblocked because Imgur refused to comply with your government’s censorship/attack on privacy?
If it’s the latter, go bitch at your MP, not us.

Imgur blocks VPNs, or at least it tries to. The images won’t load when connected to my work VPN. Seems to work fine from Mullvad though so I guess they’re not doing that great on their blocking.

At least util last week imgur worked perfectly with Proton, at least for seeing images; dunno if uploading works the same.

I can use it over Tor. Or at least, can use it without noticeably more circuit changes than usual.
Are you sure your work doesn’t just block it?

I suppose I’m not sure but I doubt it. Usually when they block something it comes with a big red warning that you’re violating corporate blah-blah by even thinking about this page and you should reconsider your questionable decision-making or some words to that effect.
For Imgur the site loads and the all-important ads load, but the images just time out.

Well, I’d say imgur did the people of the UK an unintended solid in that scenario. But I am not located there.
