This could be solved by implementing OAuth2 for the Reddit API access with user's own client_id and client_secret

Does Glance have an option for doing that?

No, it's not implemented yet. In the meantime, if you have a commercial VPN subscription, you could use the IPs from them by tunnelling the traffic from Glance through them. IPs from commercial VPNs seem to be working.

I do, I will do that. Thanks!

Thanks for offering some insight @imjuzcy, it would've taken me a while to figure out that it's a VPS issue.

Would this not also require having to supply your account's username and password in order to avoid having to authorize manually every time you start Glance since no data is persisted?

I'm not sure that you can do this automated at all, even if username and password is provided. To get the access token, the user will need to click through a web browser. I think the requirement of having a persistent file to record the access token is unavoidable if OAuth is to be implemented.

I'll close this as there is now a workaround using the request-url-template property which allows you to route the requests through an HTTP proxy:

- type: reddit
  request-url-template: https://your-proxy.com/{REQUEST-URL}
