Throw the URL in tor and it should work fine.

if you just want to read, you're probably better off with using a libreddit or redlib frontend. libredirect firefox addon can automatically use that. that way posts may load faster, you'll read it on a lightweight site, and reddit won't be able to track your usage

Simplest is to just bypass Reddit.
-
Try to connect to a different country, I've found that Norway's servers don't get that message.
-
Giving this a try. Seems like a consistent method across machines and browsers if it works. Changing servers is a hassle and redirecting traffic to a frontend is not the best solution for privacy.
-
Unfortunately I have found it to be one of the highest concentrations of higher-IQ discussions on the Internet, at least historically.
-
Use redlib.

Also, if OP is using Android but not Firefox:

Same on IOS. Using Nord I often have to shuffle my exit node to get around the block. I’ve found connections exiting the UK to be more reliable than ones exiting in the US
-
Redlib is a great frontend for it, works great IMO.
-
For me it's hit-or-miss with Nord and with Proton. As a matter of fact, works more times than not. This is on Brave browser, just to be clear.
-
Although I found I have problems with CAPTCHA with the .onion version
-
True ^^ Hope it'll help. Stay safe.

Ooh, one more thing. Reddit has two different blocks. One is this network security one. This is client side and therefore, uBlock can bypass it with ease. There's another one reddit has, but its server side and it shows up if malicious activity have exited from the same public IP your VPN is originating from. So simply changing your 'origin' is a solution in this case. However, the latter type of block is much more are
-
There is a tampermonkey script if you google it. It will add the cookie required to bypass like you’re logged in but without you being logged in. If you hit the page it adds the cookie and refreshes. Could probably be made into a pretty self contained extension too
-
Don't use Reddit.
