TPB majorly blocked

[8ballchrono 0]

Hello all. Love AirVPN. Just wanted to see if anybody else is having trouble getting a live version of thepiratebay.org, or any cloudflare site. I did a quick search and it seems it could be related to this Cogent IP blocking that happened recently. Is there any way around this? I've tried 5 different servers and none of them can connect to TPB. Thanks for the wonderful service!

 

Here are some relevant links.

I don't see how it has to be related with AirVPN.

Just wait for them to solve it, or change to another CDN instead of Cloudflare.

TPB has been working for me even since that story ran on TF.  Right now it's not coming up so it could be that TPB is just having trouble at the moment.

Oh, I'm not blaming AirVPN. I'm just bringing it to their attention (which they most likely already know) to possibly help out others. Perhaps there is some kind of IP trick or virtual something or other. It's not a big deal, just something that I didn't see mentioned here in the forums yet.

It isn't just TPB, it is any site using Cloudflare that gives me timeouts and won't connect.

I cannot reach it with my real IP, and in Germany, Cogent is not a name. Therefore, it's not a Cogent block.

Well, I can reach something. But it's CloudFlare's Always Online snapshot. Definitely a downtime of TPB.

I'm reaching other cloudflare sites no problem.  I think it's just TPB.

"The Pirate Bay and several other pirate sites are unavailable again in many parts of the world, due to a new blockade from Internet backbone provider Cogent. The site's IP-addresses, which are owned by CDN provider Cloudflare, have been blackholed, in what appears to be another case of over-blocking."

But today we can access to TPB again ....
