I'm the mod in question. The subreddit is not official – and not forgotten. I track the Reddit posts via RSS and intervene within hours if necessary, as I had to just the other week when one account quite rudely violated rule 2 during the sale. Happens often. It's neither a scam nor a hoax, but the party is over here in the forums, so people are encouraged to join it. Mostly, it's just offline time with nice ebooks – I've been on quite the reading frenzy these past few weeks, let me tell you.

Why do you care? Using a VPN isn’t illegal. Is it against the terms of service? The answer to your question is that you probably can’t. You can change the port to make your traffic blend in, but between deep packet inspection, and the fact they can see your traffic going to the IP address of a VPN provider, it’s pretty obvious.
