FWIW I too am unable to access reddit using my home (residential) IP. I've never had an account there, so I have no idea why they would block my IP. I also haven't scraped anything, ever. Previously I could access old.reddit.com, but now that's blocked too. I also can't create an account -- I get "403 forbidden", even if I specify an email address and clear my cookies. I even created a support ticket about this a few weeks ago, which went unanswered (apart from an automated message which wasn't helpful or applicable at all). I suspect it might be because I often use RedReader on my Android phone, which is still working somehow regardless of the IP ban. Funnily enough I can access Reddit through a VPN.

Check if your IP is accidentally marked as a VPN IP at the big IP location providers (e.g. https://ipinfo.io/ https://ipinfo.io/).

  Thanks, but I did check that earlier as well. My private, static address is correctly labeled: privacy: vpn: false proxy: false tor: false relay: false hosting: false service: ""

> FWIW I too am unable to access reddit using my home (residential) IP. That is an interesting development. I wonder how much overblocking there is? Every time Cloudflare says they have block a huge number of attacks/bots/whatever, I wonder how many are false positives?
