Description

From WSL Ubuntu, the command keybase id fails to verify the Reddit proof:

✔ "amadan" on reddit failed: 403 Blocked (code=240) [cached 2023-01-17 13:30:12 JST]

Additionally, if I use keybase id amadan@reddit, I also get this line:

▶ ERROR Unmet remote assertions for user "amadan"

I could not find any info on these two messages.
The output in my Windows shell on the same computer is fine:

OK "amadan" on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/KeybaseProofs/comments/10e2dhw/my_keybase_proof_redditamadan_keybaseamadan_md/ [cached 2023-01-17 13:07:40 JST]

Here is the relevant JSON details via keybase id -j amadan | jq '.proofs[] | select(.proof.key == "reddit")'

}

But checking the apiUrl with curl works:

curl https://www.reddit.com/r/KeybaseProofs/comments/10e2dhw/my_keybase_proof_redditamadan_keybaseamadan_md/.json

My WSL keybase is

keybase version 6.0.2-20220610191041+a459abf326

My Windows keybase.exe is:

keybase version 6.0.1-20220609135407+0fc9feea3d

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce keybase id and keybase id amadan@reddit in WSL Ubuntu, compare them with the working Windows output, and inspect the Reddit proof API URL shown in the report. Done means the Reddit proof verifies from WSL without the 403 or unmet-assertion errors.
