Are you able to access archive.org from where you are in the UK?

I've not been able to load the site from a UK IP address since this weekend I think. I can ping it, but browser requests just times out. https://a…

Works for me. EE Mobile in London.

Thanks for your reply.

It’s weird, maybe It’s my provider who blocked them then. Will try with another DNS provider and see if that solves it.

Check whether your provider enabled some kind of adult content filter or something like that. Maybe archive.org ended up the blocklist.

That’s a good shout. I’ll see if they have anything like that.

I couldn’t even access my home instance (thelemmy.club) after a server upgrade without changing my DNS. I thought it had shut down until I saw it worked on a VPN. ISPs do weird stuff like that. Try changing your DNS. Archive.org works fine for me, I’m using cloudflare DNS.

Yes, turned off, and my hub is in modem mode (using FreshTomato on an R8000).

Working for me in South Wales on Plusnet, but not on mobile data from Smarty.

That’s also odd. I’m on Hyperoptic, I should probably give them a call to ask what’s up.
Show threadTipponOct 29

No worries 🙂

I’ve just tried again on mobile data, and it’s working properly. The weather here has been a bit shit, so it might just have been that earlier 🤷🏻‍♂️

Works for me, but did take a long time to resolve.

I can’t connect FWIW

Is that on both your phone data plan and broadband connection? It’s beginning to look like it might be provider dependent.
Show threadcman6Oct 31

On my phone it failed instantly! “Secure connection failed” apparently.

Different providers for broadband and phone

O2/giffgaff blocks it. I’m using a VPN to Netherlands since imgur got blocked so they too, can get stuffed.
Show threadrecursivepickleOct 30
True. giffgaff blocks it, I’ve a VPN on my phone for the same reason.

Opens ever so slooooowly using Gigaclear and Firefox; it’s as if the site is overloaded and it doesn’t fully load. No luck on Vodafone 4G; the connection times out.

Working fine from mobile phone, Yorkshire. 4G Talkmobile (using Vodaphone’s network). Loaded immediately.
Show threadTheEmpireStrikesDakOct 30
Talktalk wifi and it loads for me.

If you’re on Three UK or O2, then it looks like it may be blocked: www.blocked.org.uk/site/http://archive.org
