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?

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 definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/
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.
Request: Please don’t ban Mullvad VPN IPs.
You’ve banned me from Europe and ich_iel for ‘toxic behaviour, transphobia’. I’ll give you toxic behaviour but from where tf you got transphobia in my profile? Care to point out?
Thank you. I use my personal VPN for personal use from this IP, but I’m not sure about the whole subnet. It would be great if you whitelist my IP (at least for a year).
There seems to be a complete down of feddit.org right now, I get 504 errors trying to connect.
According to Pikachu in the matrix channel, a DOS attack
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. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
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.
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?
