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?

Well, static routes did the job. Now both site are accessible. I hope admins of these instances won’t tell KGB my IP.
There seems to be a complete down of feddit.org right now, I get 504 errors trying to connect.

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.
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 not exactly the entire regions, but a large chunk of prefixes from asian regions.
we’re currently working on some infrastructure changes that will allow more granular blocking for feddit.org, separating it from the blocking used for other fediverse foundation services, as currently all fediverse foundation services are sharing the same blocklist.
It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/
