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?

    The default is for 18+ content to be restricted by UK mobile networks, you will have to contact your network customer service and ask them to remove the restrictions.
