I was just trying to access Feddit.UK via a popular VPN. It looked like the site didn’t even exist. Just a gray error page.

I’m not sure this is a good policy.

EDIT: I have clarification from ProtonVPN about what the problem is with accessing Feddit.uk. They have a service called NetShield which blocks IP addresses associated with malware and trackers. There is a false positive for Feddit.uk. Their team is aware of it, and will hopefully fix it. In the meantime, people can access Feddit.uk using ProtonVPN by turning NetShield off. It works for me.

    That’s the private DNS adblocker right? I use AdGuard’s one which doesn’t seem to have a problem, maybe Proton have a block-first-verify-later policy for new domains like this?
