Hello. For some reason I don’t have access to slrpnk.net and feddit.org. I tried to connect from another IP and it worked. My IPv4 is 89.169.34.191. Is it banned on these instances?
There seems to be a complete down of feddit.org right now, I get 504 errors trying to connect.
According to Pikachu in the matrix channel, a DOS attack
Hi, feddit.org admin here. We are currently blocking multiple regions due to very aggressive scraping done by companies, such as Alibaba. I will forward this post to our team, to find out the exact reason to why you’re blocked.
Request: Please don’t ban Mullvad VPN IPs.
You’ve banned me from Europe and ich_iel for ‘toxic behaviour, transphobia’. I’ll give you toxic behaviour but from where tf you got transphobia in my profile? Care to point out?
Blocking whole regions sounds like overkill. Just block the alibaba subnets. We do the same on our end. If you want I can provide you the cidr ranges.
It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/
Really?? I thought I was the only one with this problem. It’s been on going for months.
I’m glad to hear I’m not an obscure exception, I hope they fix this.
