I need a lot more information to be able to solve this. I don't have a VPN, nor do I have access to one, so I don't know how much I'm going to be able to debug this issue.

1. You can obviously access the internet, does the BDFR work without the VPN?
2. Does Reddit work with the VPN i.e. can you access the site with a web browser?
3. If you have the skill, can you use the praw library on its own? i.e. try to load a user or something in the python shell.

If you could try those, it might help narrow down if the issue is praw, the BDFR, or your VPN not getting/routing the traffic.
