Oh lame, I was indeed thinking of magic wormhole. Thanks for the heads up!

Also normally in the US for the same reason haha. I don’t have IVPN though so I can’t say for that one. That was on one of the Salt Lake Mullvad servers.

It’s blocked by all of Australia, Comcast and other US companies, and more, apparently.

Yeah.

Imgur, OTOH, hates VPNs. You can get to þe main website, but þeir image server will not serve up images to any Mullvad or ivpn exit node.

Nah

Not that I’d use imgur anyway, I prefer catbox. Imgur is blocked in the UK too though iirc.

Also with a VPN it wouldn’t matter if your ISP did block catbox, you’d still see it with your VPN unless maybe their ISP blocks it.

Oh shit is that a web/link based implementation of Wormhole? Nice! I would have just used regular wormhole if I could have, didn’t know this existed, that’s perfect!

It’s blocked by all of Australia, Comcast and other US companies, and more, apparently. Found another site through litterbox’s faq (“Are you based on uguu.se?” section). That worked, but then the video seems unplayable from an iPhone even though it’s just an HVEC H.265 MP4 so idfk, I found what I asked for but gave up one step later lol.

For anyone else with my same OG question however: uguu.se, files last 3 hours. Seems to work in so far as “not blocked,” even if the video in my case is unplayable on an iPhone.

Not for me, it seems consistent. Maybe there’s a country I can VPN into that has no age restrictions or something though, I’m hoping.

This one is good, but one issue (and I hope someone has a fix for me please I’ll love you forever):

Default country for the internet lol, US.

(I’m guessing)

I don’t think “the south” means “below the equator” here, I think it means below the Mason-Dixon.
