  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Hong Kong has fallen.
Edit: DNS records have been wiped

Tor keeps going belly up randomly, I have no idea why. Sometimes I'll just get and "oops, page failed to load" when trying to post. Using Brave for both Tor and VPN.
 
No registrar/domain hosting service ever takes *this* long to update nameservers. (tg.)josh.rs currently has no NS records, there must have been a manual mistake somewhere.

Tor is unstable, always been and always will be. There is no way for Tor to be consistent because of how it works.

When visiting clearnet sites, you use an exit node, if you use onion services you don't use it but it goes through even more relays adding even more latency and room for connection drops.

Weird, because the act of him posting about it being unreliable implies that it's been previously reliable for him. In my own experience, .onion and .hk over Tor have both been extremely stable, with all issues being on the server instead of in the Tor network.

As I said, Tor is not consitent. It may work good for you for some time, but relays rotate and you may get a shit circuit.
Use Tor Browser and change the circuit whenever you are having issues, its probably caused by it and not Onion Service being degraded.

I had a problem earlier where the onion didn't connect, and the new circuit button wasn't available. Then I typed in the .hk and I don't think I've manually switched to a new circuit since. It's not that much of a problem to open a menu and hit a button anyway.
 
I also haven't been able to connect to the onion site in a couple days no matter how many times I switch circuits, whereas .hk is working fine on Tor.
 
Don’t want to jinx it but hk is working buttery smooth today on clearweb, fast and no glitches at all. Did we survive?

Haven't been able to reach the clearnet for over 24 hours, it just times out. Tor is working well, however.

Am mobile fagging it rn, my preferred browser is Firefox.

Just posting this here in case anyone else is seeing this.
Looks like intermittent outages from my end. About every third load will time out.
A couple "retries" fix it.

I'm having that too, on clearnet, clearnet over tor or onion. I think it's more time based, I will browse the forums for a bit, then a page won't load. If I wait a minute or two and reload, it works again.
Could this be a problem on my/our end? It's weird that it's tor and clearnet.

sounds like a result of the Cogent blackholing thing

I'm happy to report no issues via Brave on clearnet, connection is fast as fuck and smooth as silk. I'm guessing I'm not on a Cogent route

If your connection doesn't support IPv6 and runs on Cogent routes then the blackholing issue seems to happen.

My Amazon AWS private VPN has an IPv6 address and doesn't seem to suffer from it.

Clearnet is a bit touchy on my mobile network (and WiFi). Spanish IPs. If I use a vpn it's more consistent. Ironically as I went to post this it shit the bed.
Dunno if it's my phone or network or whatever, as things are pretty shit here, but at least it's working.
