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?
This sounds like your IP was listed on some automatic threat vector RTBL that we subscribe to at firewall level. This can sometimes happen with Tor exit nodes and some shady VPNs, and not really something we want to change, sorry.
In addition SLRPNK uses Anubis to block AI scrapers and that can sometimes cause problems with older or niche browsers, but this would be a problem regardless of the IP.
What a pity. Maybe I’ll try to add a specific routing rule for slrnpk. But my IP is completely safe (I use it for personal VPN).
There seems to be a complete down of feddit.org right now, I get 504 errors trying to connect.
When I open slrpnk, a page flashes before. I think it’s something like cloudflare but something else. I have no idea how to find out what it is, it redirects very fast. Maybe your IP got marked by that service?
EDIT: found it. Maybe try reaching out to slrpnk admins?
Anubis makes your browser solve a challenge to verify you’re not a LLM crawler scraping content. It shouldn’t have the effects that OP describes.
🤷 then maybe OP’s browser has a problem with the challenge for some reason?
Did it show you a specific error/ban message?
Well, static routes did the job. Now both site are accessible. I hope admins of these instances won’t tell KGB my IP.
