Just tried on my mobile network and my home ISP and both timed out with a 504; tried again with my VPN outside the US and it went through immediately. I know Verizon has blocked Nyaa for a while, but this would be a major escalation if true. Do we know what kind of a block this is?
Guessing it’s just blocked at the DNS level. I have an internal DNS server that forwards to CloudFlare DNS, and I can still see the site. If you’re on a desktop PC, try setting your DNS addresses to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and you may be able to see the site again.

edit: able to access it again!!

and you may be able to see the site again.Not the case for me. Resolving the domain using non-US based DNS server works and points to the correct IP, still couldn’t connect though.
Edit: Seems like the block is coming from Nyaa’s end, I seriously doubt all US ISPs could effectively coordinate blocking some anime tracker lol
not yet to my knowledge
