Yesterday I was out and about, having to use mobile data. Suddenly, Jerboa reported a certificate error wile browsing feddit.de. I figured it was just a glitch, but the error persisted. Tried accessing it via browser on mobile and suddenly I’m getting some Vodafone gateway telling me I need to unlock 18+ content…WTF? I’m not even on Vodafone, so presumably my phone was data-roaming. Accessing Reddit was, naturally, no problem. I’d love to know how many orders of magnitude more porn there is on Reddit than on Feddit lol…but feddit is blocked??

Anyway, I swiftly put my VPN on my phone and it’s no longer an issue. Very bizarre to see this, though. Has anyone else encountered it?

    Yeah, it’s implemented very poorly, especially since as you have discovered, VPN’s completely bypass it and sites like reddit are “acceptable” apparently.
