Interestingly, while they do block vpns, they don't seem to be able to block the libred instance I run on the same IP address as my VPN.

Is there any way to auto-URL replace within a browser? ie Searching leads to a reddit thread, open on libred.

If you use the browser extension on Firefox it will do this automatically.
