View submission: Found Reddit video player source code

View parent comment

reddit is actually banned in my country, so i have to always use vpn to open it. i thought video freezing was just because of the crappy vpn. glad (though probably shouldn't be) to know that it's actually an issue for others as well.

The vid player works fine on PC, but the mobile app is hot garbage.

BTW, Softether VPN is a really good free VPN with lots of locations and pretty good speed.

it seems to work for me almost always at home, but at work if i dont refresh a video at least 20 times chances are it wont play.

Work computer is on a vpn in office for reference, home computer is also on a vpn no issues.... at least from reddit.

Fun fact if you use a vpn and try to load Walmart Canadas site and look for items available in store at your nearest location (when you have told the site your address) it wont load any products until you disconnect from the vpn.

actually lots of sites are starting to not play nice with vpn's :(

I use DOH on Firefox desktop or http://dns.quad9.net[1] on Android. Yes, Reddit video often freezes on VPN.
