I literally just need to access a link to reset my discord password but for whatever reason discords reset link always does this to me on mobile and I’m nowhere near my desktop.
Any way to bypass this on android? I’ve tried chrome and Firefox both

Edit: so it turns out it was actually my VPN, turns out there’s some issue with either android or Nord where if I click to disconnect from the VPN it wasn’t actually disconnecting. I had to manually remove it from VPN permissions in the android settings
I’m not sure I’d trust a VPN that MITMs my connections.
I think that is actually pretty common. If not, your DNS queries would need to go through your ISP and they could interpret what you are doing from them. You could manually configure DNS settings to route to a trusted source, which could address both.
VPN software can easily configure your DNS settings without doing MitM trickery on websites’ certificates.
It’s a bit above my paygrade tbh, most of the time it’s seamless and lightning fast, but times like this, or say, when I can’t port forward on my torrenting device because Nord doesn’t support that or split tunneling is ass, can be annoying when they arise.
Tbh as soon as my membership renews I’m finding a better VPN for my use cases, but for now it works “well enough”
Mullvad is the only VPN provider I know of that hasn’t had a controversy yet. Highly recommend
They’re had some big advertising campaigns recently which makes me suspicious, but I don’t have any concrete complaints. I haven’t used them, though.
Two possible reasons here:
Discord is blocking Nord from password reset links on a network level (probably because VPN servers are second only to Tor when it comes to malicious traffic). Frankly, I would’ve expected a CAPTCHA page instead, but it’s technically possible for an error to show up that way. You can try bypassing it by manually editing the address to make sure it starts with https.
Your VPN is actively trying to sslstrip you. Aside from the whole “that’s literally a crime people go to prison for” thing, that means you cannot ever trust that VPN again. Just because Discord bothered to secure their website doesn’t mean other apps do. You may already have been hacked if that is the case.
I’d be extremely cautious with VPN software because you’re essentially trusting them to be your ISP. If they’re doing permanent 40% off deals or (god forbid) sponsoring YouTubers, you should never trust them. It’s both funny and depressing how companies like PIA and Nord somehow convinced everyone that VPNs make your internet more secure while also not getting people to think for even a second about how much they trust these shady ass Caiman Island tax dodge scheme companies.
