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.
Edit: I'm in London BTW.

O2/giffgaff blocks it. I'm using a VPN to Netherlands since imgur got blocked so they too, can get stuffed.
True. giffgaff blocks it, I've a VPN on my phone for the same reason.
Works for me. Tested on Virgin Media and EE Mobile in London.
Not working for me on Virgin…
Have you checked your parental controls?

Yes, turned off, and my hub is in modem mode (using FreshTomato on an R8000).
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.
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.
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.
If you're on Three UK or O2, then it looks like it may be blocked: https://www.blocked.org.uk/site/http://archive.org
Now that is a useful site. Thanks for that.
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.
Thanks for your reply!
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 🤷🏻♂️
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.
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.
On my phone it failed instantly! "Secure connection failed" apparently.
Different providers for broadband and phone
Talktalk wifi and it loads for me.
