What happened to Lainchan?

The website was offline for a bit and then when it came back I am hearing that it isn't working for everyone. What has been going on lately?

It's been inaccessible for me a bunch lately. Not sure why it lets me connect every now and then. Access over phone data (AT&T) seems to be the most reliable route for me.

what does it mean if you try to post and it refuses the post and just says "please make better posts" or something to that effect?

I check in at least once a week. I was really sad to see it go, because it's hard to find the Goldilocks websites so to speak. Just the right amount of stuff to look at and ponder, not enough that I scroll away my day.

I cannot reach lainchan.org at all from my home network. Not even ping works. It's as if I'm completely blacklisted. I actually thought lainchan was dead until I visited on a whim while on a mobile connection. Mobile network works however, as does Tor. I strongly suspect a much too aggressive filter is active, or even a rangeban for whatever reason? I can't debug it if I literally can't even ping this site. Currently posting from Tor. I hope this post goes through. Also, the pinned threads are at bump limit. Unpin some perhaps?

>>13900 It just hit me what the issue likely is after checking abuseipdb: the admin probably lost the IPv4 address https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/107.161.19.243 I'm behind a cursed double NAT44 setup. I don't have NAT66 setup nor have I been able to make the primary router give a IPv6 prefix. I tried to test this via two VPSes with ping6, but for some reason it says the "network is unreachable" and I cannot be bothered to figure that out, but if someone can simply trying ping and ping6 I'd appreciate it.

Currently I am still unable to access lainchan.org from my home network on ipv4 though people on the IRC say they can and for ipv6. TOR and cell network still work. I can get the site page back from a curl. It seems specific to home internet via the browser.

This gets even weirder. On my network, if I'm using wireless (a laptop and a phone), the site loads fine. On my desktop (ethernet), both web browsers fail to load the site, but if I use w3m or curl -L, I connect without issue. One thing I noticed is that curl without -L pulls down a 301 message.
