    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?

    edit: able to access it again!!

      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.

        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
