If I disable uBlock, Deezer loads just fine, despite NextDNS and Pi-Hole doing their thing. Anyone know how to troubleshoot or fix things?
For me it loads fine with uBlock, but they have started to implement some basic VPN-blocking apparently (or enabled whatever their CDN provider talked them into or whatever). A simple reconnect seems to do the trick with ProtonVPN however.
They’re trying way too hard?
No, they are literally not. Blocking VPN users is literally the low effort thing to do because the rate of problematic attacks and similar high effort issues coming from those IPs is much higher than the few legitimate users using VPNs are worth.
It’s like blocking IP addresses when most people have dynamic IPs. It looks like you’re being hard on people and doing lots, but in reality, you’re just harming innocent users.
But that is the point. Most people do not use VPNs, you harm very few legitimate customers and save yourself the headache of dealing with all those who use VPNs for scams, attacks, exploits,…
The trade-off is entirely different from dynamic IPs.
Also, the admins running those things don’t do stuff to look like they are doing things, they wouldn’t care if you use a VPN if there was no downside to treating VPN IPs like any other.
I disagree, there’s many legitimate reasons to run VPNs. Even if said users are few in number, they shouldn’t be assumed to be dodgy.
is deezer a “justifiable” (or, in your words, legitimate) use of a vpn?
:/
deezer prolly use 200 shit tons 3rd party services. so yeah.
Use the logger in uBO to figure out which rule is causing the problem.
If that doesn’t work, I’d just reset uBO to its default settings. It will work then.
Sorry to bother you again, I don’t suppose you know about things. It’s looking like
||deezer.com^$removeparam=deferredFlwould you happen to know what I need to add to where to bypass it?I’m not sure if you still need this addressed given the VPN comment above. But to nullify a single filter, you go into the My Filters pane and add this:
||deezer.com^$badfilter,removeparam=deferredFlYou can read more about it here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#badfilter
You are my bloody hero. Thank you so much. Fuck, you’re awesome!
Thank you so much!
