YGGTorrent

Hello
I can't access YGG even though https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https://www3.yggtorrent.wtf seems to indicate that I should be able to access it. I am thinking about a problem with DNS servers.

Looks like this site is behind Cloudflare. Are you seeing any messages from Cloudflare indicating that they've blocked you?

No messages. It just constantly tries to reach the site but there is not time out.

Edit: There is a time out after all, you just have to wait long enough.

Downloading and seeding works fine though. But yes the website is behind cloudflare.

This is an odd one. I can only replicate the timeout on servers in Germany. The IP addresses returned from AirDNS (and Cloudflare's own 1.1.1.1 resolver) aren't accessible. If I resolve this domain with Quad9, I get a different set of IPs that are reachable from Germany.

Response from AirDNS (Taiyi - Berlin, Germany):

To work around this, add Quad9's answer to your hosts file, or set up a custom DNS answer.
