It's blocked at least in the Netherlands. Weirdly it mentions it being part of the sanctions against Russia, while from a cursory search I only found a judge ordering the site to be blocked because of copyright issues (thanks Brein). They probably just show the wrong error page?

Must be ISP specific, I'm also in NL and can access it fine.

I'm on Ziggo

It's blocked by my corporate networking filter for me, in the category "Illegal downloads". So the Russian sanctions message is probably incorrect indeed.

I'm also in NL. Ziggo's DNS server blocks it:

  $ dig annas-archive.org @89.101.251.228
  annas-archive.org. 360 IN CNAME unavailable.for.legal.reasons.
  unavailable.for.legal.reasons. 339 IN A 213.46.185.10

213.46.185.10 serves a generic page mentioning Russia Today and the Pirate Bay. Not sure which one applies here.

> CNAME unavailable.for.legal.reasons.

Not really standards compliant, but an interesting use of DNS.

Same for KPN:

Would Tweak have blocked this? Most households in the Netherlands currently have the choice of Ziggo, KPN, and Odido. Long live VPNs…

Is that three broadband providers serving the same address?? You guys are so lucky you don’t even know. In America we generally have a choice of one if you aren’t including Starlink or legacy slow satellite. And perhaps a joke of a 1-6Mbps DSL option in some parts.

Oh wow, don't look at Italy so! At my current address I have coverage from at least 7 different providers (even though they're all based on only 3 different infrastructures/lines).

[xp84]

Three usable lines to your home??? I hope you're happy, you've made at least one American cry today.

[reddalo]

Yes. One of those three lines is based on the old copper phone lines; the other two are optical fiber (FTTH).

I currently have a 1 Gbps down / 300 Mbps up unlimited connection, and I pay only 16 euros (~16 USD) per month.

I wonder why the US is so bad on home internet connections, but maybe it's because of the scale of your country?
