CenturyLink/Qwest/Layer3 blocks Kiwi Farms

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Are we really going down the ole "whose gov fucks them in the ass the least" route? We're all getting goatsee'd at the end of the day.
You say that, but my government never deliberately got an epidemic-level percentage of their own citizens addicted to crack rock to fund a Latin American proxy war (that they still lost), so I'd argue that there are degrees of goatse involved.

Link to what Security Shield is.

You can submit a request for it to be unblocked, but considering this site doesn't fit under the "Security Shield blocks access to potentially harmful websites that are used to spread malware or steal user data." criteria and is still blocked.

We Need to Talk About Infrastructure
tl;dr G-guys, Cuckflare censoring the Internet is totally fine, because they are not an essential infrastructure, trust us! - EFF

EFF said:
At EFF, we are deeply committed to ensuring that users can trust us to be both careful and correct in all of our advocacy. Our framing of Cloudflare’s decision to cut off service to Kiwi Farms as about “infrastructure,” in a post discussing content interventions more generally, didn’t meet that bar for 2022. (...) In 2022, could we applaud Cloudflare’s decision to not do business with such ghouls while also strongly supporting the principle that infrastructure needs to be content-neutral? It turns out the answer is yes, and that answer begins with a careful and transparent reconsideration of what we mean when we say “infrastructure.”
A damage control article just before the current shitshow. Coincidence? I don't think so!
 
Your request was successfully submitted. (FCC Website)

Spent two hours also with CenturyLink across three agents. Josh, expect some Christmas Crypto coming your way.

If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

If you are a CenturyLink customer, and your phone clearnet access is starting to fail, here's your Christmas contigency:

Mobile users, download proton VPN, free mode, select Netherlands.
Desktop, use opera web browser, click VPN, select Europe.
Then go to your preferred web browser, and use kiwifarms.net as usual.

Or use Onion Router, kiwifarmsaaf4t2h7gc3dfc5ojhmqruw2nit3uejrpiagrxeuxiyxcyd.onion

I suspect the dimwit didn't correctly diagnose your problem, it's just that normally when people complain it's because of Security Shield.
I'm assuming Security Shield is based on Google's malicious URL protection, which most certainly doesn't block KF.

First level support isn't going to know what a tier 1 provider (or Telia/Arelion) is.

So when Malware Bytes blocks a site like that, then it tells you directly that it was blocked for such reasons as it was doing not long ago. That and if you can access it from a VPN in say the UK, but not in the USA, then it's probably not the cause as the shield should be on your end and pick it up in both cases.

I take it that means theres nothing I can do on my end to make that happen.
You can complain to your ISP, that will hopefully lead to them complaining to their providers which might clean up the actual mess.

In addition, if you manage to get it escalated to their engineers on duty they should be able to find a workaround to restore connectivity, other ISPs seem to have managed to do that.

"We redefined infrastructure so that what was done to Kiwi Farms doesn't count".

Take a deep breath from a tank of helium, EFF.

Yeah, unfortunately you gotta get through the opening tier and escalate the issue. The manager is reviewing the chat logs right now.

Too bad for them that now it's _actual_ infrastructure providers fucking up.

I don't think EFF expected their entire raison d'être and legacy to be fucked by rapists so soon.
 
some ISPs use services like FortiGuard to filter "harmful or inappropriate" websites.
You should look into that, maybe it's not the ISPs but their contractor cuck filters.
That is all on a local network, most likely a small business. Never heard of an ISP running FortiGuard for their customers. Not to mention I seriously many Fortigates are deployed at ISPs due to their cost and not so great track record of reliability with software. If you hit the FortiGuard you will get a page that looks like this. Though you can set up custom HTML pages for hitting it iirc.

My ISP isnt the problem though. Its only when I'm on my VPN (and not connecting through Norway) that it wont connect.

VPN off works just fine. I suspect because I have a relatively small, regional, ISP.
 
Interestingly I'm having no issues on clearnet from Spectrum(former Charter) in the Western US. Looks to be direct peering via AMS-IX.

11 80.249.213.37 (80.249.213.37) 176.791 ms * 173.289 ms
12 103.114.191.1 (103.114.191.1) 168.826 ms 175.157 ms 172.998 ms

All previous hops are within the Charter network.
