If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

    Reddit should be able to tell by the number of different accounts that connect through an IP like that that it’s not a home wifi network and treat it accordingly, the question is do they actually do that (probably cuz otherwise you’d never be able to connect through a VPN lol)

        Either they’ll see it like some kind of public WiFi, or there’ll be collateral damage. But keep in mind that CG-NAT usually only applies to IPv4, so if your ISP and home network support IPv6, Reddit won’t have said problem and see you IPv6 address.
