Featured on Dec 21, 2022 by Null: CenturyLink and ISPs that use CenturyLink cannot access the Kiwi Farms because of CenturyLink's interference.
Edit: This information is outdated. Tier 1 provider Arelion has also dropped, so CenturyLink is not by itself causing problems.

If you cannot connect to the Kiwi Farms via Clearnet, there are two primary suspects. To diagnose, you will need to use the command prompt.
Windows+R to open the Run dialog. Type cmd.exe as shown. Press OK.
DNS Blacklist
The easiest form of censorship is through DNS. This is easy to circumvent.
In your command prompt, type nslookup kiwifarms.net and press enter. You will receive a reply.
If the response's Address field does not start with 103.114.191.xxx, your DNS provider is lying to you. If you've not changed your DNS provider, this DNS result comes from your ISP. You can change your DNS very easily. Google "how to change DNS".
I am currently aware that Cisco's Umbrella is falsifying DNS results to block the site.
IP Blackhole
IP blackholing is your ISP refusing to transit data between my network and theirs. This is very severe and consumer ISPs in the US blackholing US legal websites for non-technical reasons is absolutely unheard of.
To test this, ping 103.114.191.1
If you receive no responses, you are not able to connect to my network.
If you cannot, you should email jcmoon@pm.me with your traceroute. Run the command tracert 103.114.191.1 and copy the results to me. The first few lines can identify your ISP (and by extension, what city you're in), so do not post it publicly.
There are two reasons why this can happen:
1. Your ISP is CenturyLink or its subsidiaries.
2. Your ISP uses CenturyLink's T1 backbone called Lumen (formerly Layer3).
CenturyLink is currently lying and saying our network is unreachable. This means any ISP trying to connect you to the KF will be unable to, even if it has other ISPs that can route to the Kiwi Farms.
You can call your ISP and relay this information. If your ISP is CenturyLink/Qwest, you should threaten to change ISP and follow through.
Remember to support net neutrality and the EFF (which has to openly decry they hate us every blog post, but they're definitely paying attention to the death of the free Internet).

Kiwi Farms
The following ISPs are either rejecting our announcement or blackholing our routes (103.114.19.0/24). This is unprecedented without court order. We are a legal site being blocked by massive corporations, in violation of European Net Neutrality. * Lumen (a/k/a CenturyLink, Qwest, Level 3) (Tier...
