there's a good chance jersh just fucked up his network config, kiwifarms.net shows no DNS records but there's a new host called Veilios at 103.114.191.1 (kiwifarms's IP) that literally just showed up: https://bgp.tools/prefix/103.114.191.0/24#connectivity (A)
Could this schizo have anything to do with this?

Like others, I could not connect on clearnet without updating the hosts file. nslookup reports DNS time outs or SERVFAIL while attempting to resolve kiwifarms.net both on Comcast and Quad9.

If anyone is running Linux and needs a fix while DNS has shit the bed, it's just as simple to edit the /etc/hosts and add the following to it, basically the same as for Windows:
103.114.191.1 kiwifarms.net 103.114.191.1 uploads.kiwifarms.net 103.114.191.1 no-cookie.kiwifarms.net

After Jersh gets name resolution back up, these entries will have to be removed/uncommented and the same would go for Windows as well. Even though lookup for the site will work fine without removing the entries for some time, and to clarify and add on to @Smaug's Smokey Hole 2 's thing, the IPs for the site may change at somepoint in the future and you don't want to have your host trying to access another IP where it may point to and possibly attempt to retrieve pages and data from a host on another network. You then won't be able to access the (legitimate) site and an actor might be able to set up a server to log any activity or data including source IPs if they are able to get an allocation including the address.

I don't think it was seized. It's some other fuckery.

For example, checking the most basic information on the DNS records using ICANN | Lookup, you can see it says clientTransferProhibited. This status is usually reserved for issues related to domain hijacking, at least in my experience.
clientTransferProhibited just indicates the domain ownership cannot be transferred between domain registrars (companies), literally every site has it set. Although I'm not a network engineer or know anything greatly knowledgeable like that, I have seen it on most domains I've looked up so it would make sense it's mostly normal as a basic security measure.

I noticed that when I was troubleshooting the errors yesterday; that upstream connection has been there since then at least. I'm fairly sure that all of my requests have been routing through terra even since yesterday when I posted and even though its supposedly an American network, so idk what its doing or why its here. If that peer is not doing much then that might be funny considering the following call-to-arms might just not be so fruitful:

weird. I’m on mobile and logged in as normal without any extra steps. Haven’t really noticed anything amiss except a few random timeouts hours ago.

Just a reminder, the dipshit behind this twitter account has no background in tech, has no friends in tech, and he's nothing more than a spazz that granite chin has been using to be the loud one while he does all the behind the scenes talking. In short, he's retarded and after getting banned from Fallout 76, his new passion is stalking kiwifarms.
 
Okay, suddenly it's back from my usual method of access. It's pretty obvious some shit was going on though.

It usually not on it's own, for example with Flickr you can see it has a few other statutes as well.

If this was an outage, were there any other Epik clients affected as well?

Ok, I demand to know which degenerate has managed to cause us a 60 mins downtime on the clearnet.
Show yourselves despicable deviants.
