This is why you setup an email on a burner phone with a fake name and always use Reddit on a VPN. If you’re really trying to be on the low run tor on brave browser anytime you visit. Reddit doesn’t know shit about me personally
Damn! Sorry to hear. I personally don’t think VPN is enough they probably have insiders at all the various VPN companies which they can hit up for a dig on your connection data which would eventually point to the email and Info you used to sign up with the VPN. This is why the burner phone to verify a fake name and email address is key. Also find a vpn that is free so you don’t have to give them personal info with a credit card. Or load up a pre pay you bought with cash while wearing your mask and a hat. Take your plates off when you drive to the store for the purchase as well probably cameras tracking the lots and that would be another trace back they can use. Great book worth reading is “the art of invisibility” by Kevin mitnick.
VPN AND older virtual machine - like Win XP, or Win 7.
That way the browsers on your virtual machine only leak ENTIRELY DIFFERENT identifying information than your main PC would do through a browser.
It's called "Browser fingerprinting" and there's hundreds of ways to do it.
One such way is make a canvas on an invisible web page, draw some text in a particular font - and they can tell some of what your OS is.
Do that with cookies,HTML 5 local filesystem files, browser name and version, (used to) Flash super cookies, page referer (from the PREVIOUS site you were on!), FAVICON cache list_... all this adds up to a UNIQUE BROWSER and therefore user.
See that browser again with a new IP AND different Reddit account?
They KNOW you're the same person.
VPN AND VIRTUAL MACHINE. DO NOT visit or log in to ANY personal account sites you have on it.
Damn stepping it up even more. So clearly you know some technical details here. How about this. Host system on VPN. VM running win xp, with a different VPN service routed through the host’s VPN service. Also windows xp vm browsing on brave through tor. Is this full ghost mode?
The simple version is, even if you use a VPN they can still get the MAC address on your computing device, by various means including tricks. Then they can correlate usage of that value with who you are, by comparing data from various accesses. Now, Reddit alone can't do that, indeed they can use multiple data sources in order to cross-correlate. ANYONE who does online gaming will be traceable by this means.
The short take is, you are not totally anonymous even with VPN, if you are on a PC. If you are on a burner phone it is harder but if you make even one slipup, you're hosed.

Thoughts on Tor?
I’ve heard mixed things.
The simple version is, even if you use a VPN they can still get the MAC address on your computing device, by various means including tricks.

They've mastered people upvoting twice problem. I don't know how they do it but a VPN is useless against it.
Your real name?
That's fucked. These losers need to be harmed in some way.
