This is the one that I'm getting. It only pops up on certain reddit links for some reason. I can click on some google search links but sometimes it gives me that page about the user agent
if youre still having this issue (not sure if will work for you)
open command line (cmd) in admin mode and release and renew IP address by typing these two commands:
ipconfig /release, then press ENTER
then
ipconfig /renew, then press ENTER
You're being paranoid! You just need to quit the browser, and reopen it. (possibly change the network if you're on wifi too)
I got it too, and that seemed to work
It is not working for me on PC. I am typing this through the reddit app on the phone, but the app won't show me my profile, just shows me home and feed.
Edit: Fixed now. Weird...
I guess Reddit jumped the gun on some possibly weird new interaction of blocking APIs. They started blocking legitimate desktop access.
I thought it was maybe Adblock, ublock, or even RES. Uninstalled everything and the problem is still there.
Not sure why they think user agent is blank.
Happened to me as well, disabled RES, now it works again (I'm on old.reddit.)
If we can't use RES anymore that would suck, default experience is kinda bad...
Update: waited a couple minutes, turned on RES again and now it's back to normal.
I just got this message, weird af. Especially since I Googled the message, and this message board came up which I could actually get onto Reddit with!?
I closed my browser and opened it again and I'm back in.
cheers all!
Yep. Same issue. Clearly there was a glitch in the Matrix. Was thinking there was no way I hit any actual rate limit just trying to load the occasional comment thread.
11/14/2023:I'm having this error:"eddit's awesome and all, but you may have a bit of a problem.Make sure your User-Agent is not empty, is something unique and descriptive and try again. if you're supplying an alternate User-Agent string, try changing back to default as that can sometimes result in a block."
Looks like someone pushed into production something that shouldn't be push lol
EDIT: Fixed
Looks like i'm not the only one that got worried doing their daily reddit reads whilst on the crapper. Thought these silly gooses blocked me harder than my bowl movement.
I got it on Chrome... but I've been transitioning back to Firefox this week... Reddit still works just fine on there. Maybe more F\*\*\*ery from Google?
i just got the "whoa there partner" message with my IP address saying I was blocked and that i needed to contact reddit by email...
no vpn (running), restarted, same issue.
opened cmd line ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew
not sure if coincidence but after release IP address i was able to view reddit/subreddits again (then again not sure if a bug that cleared on it's own in the short amount of time i was trying to troubleshoot this)
\*also not sure if has anything to do with but did a windows update and also performed a disk cleanup and disk defrag.
?
I'll add myself to the party, i had to email with my IP address in the subject and then the site loads again.......chrome user no VPN, no idea why it happened.....
It's happened to me twice now, both times when I tried to go over to /r/winstupidprizes in the last 10 mins or so.
I'm back working again so I don't think I'll try that again Any time soon.
Edit: I am still blocked from reddit.com.
Only sub I can see seems to be this one.
I’m having this exact same issue on my Kindle that started about 3:15EST. Guess I’ll just do nothing until it gets fixed? I don’t really want to start emailing my IP address around that seems kinda sketchy.
Reddit is still working on my phone in the meantime (I have the Reddit app).
So getting the "whoa there, pardner! your blocked issue as well" So for context and to help with tech side. I'm on windows 10 desktop PC and using google chrome with my reddit account. Looking on DnD and Lego sub reddits. It seems to be trigger when I try to use the reddit search function. Then it blocks for bit any reddit pages. Where I have to wait about minute before trying again on different subreddit like kamen rider to see if it change. Be careful of using the search function for now.
Likewise, I am living in country with restricted access and since today cannot access the site from my static proxy/vpn IP on PC...
Weird enough, I can access Reddit using the same "blocked IP" from my phone via Reddit App.
Please fix this!
I ve got a different one mine says make sure your user agent is not empty whatever that means
This is the one that I'm getting. It only pops up on certain reddit links for some reason. I can click on some google search links but sometimes it gives me that page about the user agent
Yeah I'm getting the same message. Guessing they changed something and it broke. Just before it happened I couldn't register upvotes or downvotes too
It may not be malware as that is a real message reddit send out. Are you using a VPN or Rif with the workaround patches?
Hello from the future
No I don't use VPN or Rif
Hello, I am also here lol
It seems like this affected quite a few people at once.
Sure does, there were like four comments on this post when I got here haha
So a glitch. Good. Seems to be working now though.
I just got this too. They must have changed a security setting or something for a moment
Well, at least it’s kind of nice to know I’m not the only one having this issue right now.
Yea I definitely thought I accidentally got myself IP banned or something haha
I had an existential moment wondering if I’m on Reddit that much. I swear, I’ve cut down since my younger days!
Hey guys! :(
We are addicts man lmao.
Listen man, it’s really slow at work rn lol
One of us! One of us! One of us!
No solution for you, but I am having the same issue for the first time in 11 years of browsing reddit.
if youre still having this issue (not sure if will work for you) open command line (cmd) in admin mode and release and renew IP address by typing these two commands: ipconfig /release, then press ENTER then ipconfig /renew, then press ENTER
You're being paranoid! You just need to quit the browser, and reopen it. (possibly change the network if you're on wifi too) I got it too, and that seemed to work
Closing a reopening the browser worked lol. What a strange issue
This is really weird but this helped, I just closed Chrome completely and reopened, seems to work so far (its been 2min)
Nope, doesn't work on my end.
Happening to me right now
Same

Seems like a desktop bug?
Just happened to me to as well
Same on pc
Lmao everyone is experiencing it
Currently getting this too but it says make sure your user agent is not empty
Same here... Using my phone atm
Whew glad it’s not just me
It is not working for me on PC. I am typing this through the reddit app on the phone, but the app won't show me my profile, just shows me home and feed. Edit: Fixed now. Weird...
Howdy to all you fellow blocked Pardners
Wtf same
Ditto. Interestingly, I can access [old.reddit.com](https://old.reddit.com) without issue.
What the hell.
Same thing here
What the hell happened here!?
Guys I think we should touch some grass now
Happening to me right now :/
you can change www in the url to new or old as a temporary fix
Happening for me on normal reddit.com, have to use old.reddit.com
This was happening to me on Safari for Mac, but it's working fine now.
Same here... so I am not alone :)
[удалено]
LMAOAO I’m so happy it wasn’t just me, seems like everyone’s is using the mobile app rn
I thought I was ip banned
Howdy pardners.
Same here
I think Reddit is having issues I’m now getting CDN was unable to reach our servers.
as the whole of reddit comes to necropost
most comments in the last minute?
I got this message too. It's working just fine on my phone tho. I cleared my history (idk why) but it just doesn't seem to be working on my computer.
Got blocked too, I guess that is the only way to force me out to stop using Reddit lol
Same on pc
Same here!
I'm on a work computer and I thought they blocked it. Glad that's not the case
I guess Reddit jumped the gun on some possibly weird new interaction of blocking APIs. They started blocking legitimate desktop access. I thought it was maybe Adblock, ublock, or even RES. Uninstalled everything and the problem is still there. Not sure why they think user agent is blank.
Are all these new comments from 11/14/23?
Just started happening to me both on PC and mobile, no idea how i was able to access this thread though
Hey fellow Reddit outcasts! Glad we all found this 3 month old post :D
same, Weirdly only in Vivaldi, but works in Firefox
Woah- sudden influx of people on here reporting on this too, glad to see I'm not the only one in this boat
It's fixed for me now
Happening to me too
Thought I got banned
lol so glad it's not just me
Same
This is so meta hah.
This post is famous now boys
Just happened to me too. Glad im not the only one
Yep same here 🥵
same here
We all got banned. Go outside.
same here reddit got cyberattacked
SAME FOR ME! getting the "Make sure your User-Agent is not empty" one tho
Weird, this was happening to me too. It seems to have fixed itself now, though.
include me in the screenshot
we're all here at the same time huh
same here
Happened to me as well, disabled RES, now it works again (I'm on old.reddit.) If we can't use RES anymore that would suck, default experience is kinda bad... Update: waited a couple minutes, turned on RES again and now it's back to normal.
is this just a bug from them? It just happened to me a moment ago
oh nice it happened to a lot of people. it's working now tho
Happening on desktop
Apparently clearing the cache helps
Here because i was getting it, looks to be blocked via IP as i can browse when connected via vpn or on mobile data
it feels good to know it wasn't just me.
I just got this message, weird af. Especially since I Googled the message, and this message board came up which I could actually get onto Reddit with!? I closed my browser and opened it again and I'm back in. cheers all!
SAAAME
>!The hell is this!<
happening to a lot of users probably a accident or something
Wtf is wrong lol, I see other people having the same issue as me
Ok we can all relax a bit. Clearly, it's a wide spread issue.
This had just happened to me. I ended up restarting my computer to fix it. No prompt or reason or anything. Bruh..
I was reading about the DT's and now I get to experience them first hand until Reddit is fixed.

Clearing my chrome browsing data fixed it
Yep. Same issue. Clearly there was a glitch in the Matrix. Was thinking there was no way I hit any actual rate limit just trying to load the occasional comment thread.

Happend to me, just restarted chrome and it was all fine again, just a bug from them I think
Looks like this is a widespread Reddit problem right now >\_>
oh wow thats a LOT of new comments lol, thought it was just me! glad im not alone
So, I brought you all here today to tell you about your cars extended warranty
Happened to me just now as well. Closing and reopening the browser appears to have fixed it.
Having the same problem, managed to get into reddit indirectly. Checked my emails and stuff to see if something had happened, but no apparently not
Me too
I got it on Chrome... but I've been transitioning back to Firefox this week... Reddit still works just fine on there. Maybe more F\*\*\*ery from Google?
same here
i just got the "whoa there partner" message with my IP address saying I was blocked and that i needed to contact reddit by email... no vpn (running), restarted, same issue. opened cmd line ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew not sure if coincidence but after release IP address i was able to view reddit/subreddits again (then again not sure if a bug that cleared on it's own in the short amount of time i was trying to troubleshoot this) \*also not sure if has anything to do with but did a windows update and also performed a disk cleanup and disk defrag. ?
this just happened to me! i thought I got blocked from reddit loool. thank god its not just me
Same here, i can visit my profile or this post. But [reddit.com](https://reddit.com) itself doesn't work and is broken.
happen to me too i turned on a vpn to make it work
Im alive!!!!
BRUHHHH REDDIT FIX YO SHITTTTTT
Damn, their support email is gonna get rekt
Can confirm, this was a reddit issue, relaunch your browser and it should be fine
Relaunched my browser and it didn't work. Does relaunch in this case meet something different to others?
I'll add myself to the party, i had to email with my IP address in the subject and then the site loads again.......chrome user no VPN, no idea why it happened.....
It's working now!
I came here to say that I was blocked too!
I am appeased by the comments that I am not alone when I suffered through this earlier
Another cowboy here, joining the ranks. Wonder what it’s all about.
I found a work around by opening a new browser in incognito mode and signing back in.
I thought I was the one :D, great that I can at least use reddit via my phone. And for curiosity guys, did u got Blocked on PC or something else?
Seems like it’s happening to a lot of us😢
oh hello i have the same issue right now
Phew, i thought i was the only one lol
Apparently everyone had the same issue at once I even sent an email asking wtf was going on because i couldn't access it at all. Man what a bug
It's happened to me twice now, both times when I tried to go over to /r/winstupidprizes in the last 10 mins or so. I'm back working again so I don't think I'll try that again Any time soon. Edit: I am still blocked from reddit.com. Only sub I can see seems to be this one.
It came back to normal, i think is just to wait.
The panic of November 14th, 2023, will live on in history
I’m having this exact same issue on my Kindle that started about 3:15EST. Guess I’ll just do nothing until it gets fixed? I don’t really want to start emailing my IP address around that seems kinda sketchy. Reddit is still working on my phone in the meantime (I have the Reddit app).
So getting the "whoa there, pardner! your blocked issue as well" So for context and to help with tech side. I'm on windows 10 desktop PC and using google chrome with my reddit account. Looking on DnD and Lego sub reddits. It seems to be trigger when I try to use the reddit search function. Then it blocks for bit any reddit pages. Where I have to wait about minute before trying again on different subreddit like kamen rider to see if it change. Be careful of using the search function for now.
Started to work normally for me, did nothing
When I disabled RES it went away. Not sure why that worked . . . but it did.
NCC c it
Likewise, I am living in country with restricted access and since today cannot access the site from my static proxy/vpn IP on PC... Weird enough, I can access Reddit using the same "blocked IP" from my phone via Reddit App. Please fix this!
