Before assuming it's an IP or device ban, I'd try to figure out exactly what triggered it. Reddit has become much stricter with automation, VPNs, and repetitive posting, so sometimes it's the account behavior rather than the IP itself. If it's a legitimate restriction, I'd focus on appealing it and adjusting your posting habits instead of trying to work around the ban. Did Reddit suspend the account, or are you just unable to browse or create new accounts?

First, make sure it's actually an IP ban. If it is, I'd recommend contacting Reddit Support and starting fresh while following Reddit's rules to avoid getting banned again.

How can you check if its an ip ban? also why would you contact reddit support while at the same time "starting again" lol i think you talk nonsense my man.
If you get banned the only thing that works every time, is a new router, and new computer. You got banned once though for spamming, you'll get banned again probably. Don't get banned, stop doing the same thing that got you banned! lol

They didn't ban your IP.
They don't ban IPs unless you're a super high level marketer giving people exploit tips and they'd dox you, all your information they can get, etc
It's happened to me... dont ask...........
What browser are you using?

Chasing a new proxy before you know what's broken usually wastes money, since the fix differs by layer. Load Reddit logged out, then try spinning up a brand new account on that same connection. If the fresh one dies within minutes, your IP or network is the problem; if only your old account is gone, it's account-level, and no new IP revives a dead account. That part just means starting over.
For an IP problem, you want a clean address Reddit already trusts, so residential or mobile rather than a datacenter range or a shared public VPN, since those pools tend to be flagged already. A sticky residential proxy or a genuinely separate network does the job. For a fingerprint problem, isolate it behind a fresh browser or antidetect profile with cookies and cache cleared, ideally on a different device. A clean IP behind a dirty fingerprint still gets picked off, and vice versa, so pair both from the first login, keep that pairing consistent, and rebuild slowly like a normal user.

new router and new pc every time is overkill man. real ip bans are rare, they dont waste that on one account. its almost always the account or a flagged fingerprint, so swap the account and keep the setup, dont rip out your whole hardware

Reddit IP bans can happen because of suspicious activity, shared networks, VPN usage or multiple account actions. Build account trust slowly before posting again.

Just use a mobile proxy or residential IP in combination with antidetect browser and see if they still ban you . If the issue was the IP now with the new ip and setup shouldnt be an issue

Try using one stable device and connection. Changing too many things at once can look suspicious to Reddit.

If reddit decided to restrict it, I'd sort that out first otherwise you'll just end up chasing the same problem again.

Keep using a mobile data connection (3G/4G/5G), but the most important thing is to switch to a different device.

You can use anti detect browsers with proxies and create more accounts that way. Also you can buy aged accounts here on the marketplace.
