I'm not entirely tech stupid, but admittedly I'm not the most network savvy. I used to use catbox.moe with no issues (e.g. in the days of Voat), but now I'm entirely unable to view without a proxy or VPN. Which isn't the worst thing; I use VPN regularly, but some websites (banking, e.g.) refuse my connection if I VPN.

So... lil help troubleshooting? Sorry if this is the wrong sub... there's not a "tech help" sub that I'm aware.

No shit? They don't block 4chan or, well, poal, voat... but they block a pic-sharing site? Does catbox host CP or something?

Cause, yknow, they don't block pornhub or anything. My ISP really doesn't seem to give a shit about any sites - is that the only explanation?

The other answer could be that catbox is simply blocking you (your IP or pool based on your location)

You can try to shoot them an email if it's really a problem for you to use a VPN to access it.

I would say it's mildly inconvenient. I have a fairly dedicated use for VPN that isn't my daily stuff. Thanks for the tips.
