Curious why a VPN is necessary to access Reddit. NSWF content that's blocked by the ISP?

  some countries block Reddit by default.

  I sometimes enable vpn system wide for reasons unrelated to reddit and want to access reddit on the same machine.

  If you use vpn for other purposes,its just a hustle to constantly switch it on and off.

  You misunderstand; I run all my traffic through VPN to stop my ISP from spying on it.

  I always use a proxy to my VPS when browsing the web since ~2013 when my ISP Comcast started (and never stopped) it's MITM attacks which inject javascript into HTTP sessions' HTML. This behavior would be illegal for most entities but Comcast is a big enough corporation they don't have to follow the law (CFAA).

  - I use a VPN as generic connection, always - i'm often on public wifi as I work remote and travel - It's not really for reddit, it's for random other sites, and I switch IPs often as part of a multilayered privacy protocol - I like keeping people trying to track me on their toes - Primary reason is to keep ISP from tracking my activties when at home ~75% of my time. AT&T (and other ISPs) is well known for selling your info to 3rd parties
