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.

    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.

          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.

    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.

    Some address ranges (prominently asian ones) are statically blocked on feddit.org, afaik due to ML scrapers etc. Though, I wonder why that specific one is blocked, as it’s a UK IP. @surprised_pikachu@feddit.org @BurningTurtle@feddit.org @letsu@feddit.org
