This guide builds on the video’s “IP ban” theme to explain why Reddit accounts get blocked, how to tell an account-level ban from network/device-level restrictions, and how to respond the right way: study platform and subreddit rules, document what happened, and submit an appeal via official channels. Critical note: attempting to bypass restrictions with proxies, ‘anti-detect’ browsers, or other masking tactics violates Reddit’s Terms of Service and frequently results in permanent bans and reputational damage. Instead, use a security baseline (strong unique passwords and 2FA, ‘Where you’re logged in’ review, session/device sign-outs, third-party app audit) and refine your content cadence and relevance. The FAQ and glossary below define key terms (IP address, device fingerprint, 2FA, proxy server) and offer practical, compliant steps to lower repeat-ban risk and improve appeal outcomes.
