Whilst I very dearly love the "mutt free" message, it's blocked in the UK as well. I suppose since Brexit we aren't counted as Europe? Not really, we are part of Europe, just not the EU.

Using British IP via VPN, and it works fine for me
 
US here, changed my VPN (PIA) to Netherlands and working fine.

Who can I boomer call to complain about my service not actually routing to sites?
 
I'm too retarded to come up with the right syntax, but someone in the Kiwi hivemind could probably work out which line to insert into uBlock Origin to filter out chat for those of us that don't need/want it.
There was a post about this a while ago as Sneedchat absolutely murders phone fag batteries. The filter "||kiwifarms.net/test-chat$subdocument" is sufficient to prevent the iframe from loading and navigating directly to https://kiwifarms.net/test-chat?style=dark is still possible so you can interact with chat in a separate tab.

If you're a phone fag, the only option I've found is Firefox for Android as it turns out Kiwi Browser's extension implementation would only cosmetically block the iframe but not prevent it from loading in the background. Firefox for Android works as expected with that filter and saved my battery from getting ruined while browsing DSP threads.
VPN set in Australia working very well, good speed, no lag.
Funny, thats where I am but im connecting to VPN nodes in Germany
Australia is very hit and miss at the moment as it depends on whether the ISP directly peers with AMS-IX or has transit via HE. I had a look at the major ISP looking glasses and it looks like TPG and Aussie Broadband work because they're going via HE. Telstra, Optus and Superloop have no route as they were probably relying on somebody who relied on GTT.

TPG wasn't working this morning. Hopped onto my VPN (SurfShark) and got a connection to the Netherlands. Seems like the clogs still have connectivity to the Farms.

It probably doesn't help that there are relatively few interconnects between Australia and the rest of the world. Non-functioning Aussie ISPs probably rely on links to the USA rather than Asia.

As of now:

Africa no problems
Asia no problems (except for some places in Japan)
EU no problems
Most of South America OK

UK very spotty

USA dead

I can't test CA and MX.

USA - Land of the brave and home of the free? These days it's more and more land of the slave and home of the twee.

Called my ISP and whined at them about them (even though I know it wasn’t them I wanted them to feel responsible) blocking a US legal website for an hour. It probably won’t do anything but they seemed confused and said they‘d email me back why it was blocked. Whenever they email me back I’ll whine harder. Doing my Kiwi service O7 O7 O7
 
Proton VPN here (I know, basic, but it's free). Only free connections are the US, Japan, and the Netherlands, so I'm connected there. It caused my computer audio to disappear for a few hours, but hey, now my Spotify ads are in Dutch and Twatter recommends Dutch hashtags like #oogappel. I'd consider it a plus to distract me from the depression of being a Yank right now.
 
Aussie Broadband and Optus (Cellular) do not work
Oh well, RIP. The LG does show a route but you're right, it doesn't ping. The TPG LG does manage to ping it so it should work but it might be only for corporate customers as its endpoint is an AAPT router.
