Derpibooru Down? · 10:45am Jun 2nd, 2018
Is it just me, or could Australia be blocking Derpibooru and Equestria Daily for some reason? I can't access them at all... Can anyone else?
EDIT: With a proxy Equestria Daily loads except there's no CSS, and for Derpibooru only the top bar loads, meaning that the sites are indeed blocked. This doesn't happen with the Wayback Machine, however. Meaning if the sites ARE blocked, then they've found a way to make bypassing the filter (almost) impossible, to the point of rendering the sites completely useless...
EDIT2: Seems to be fixed at least for now...
That's very doubtful. There is no reason why Australia would do this. It's not North Korea or China and there's nothing on Derpibooru or EQD that specifically the australian government would find offensive or problematic.
Sites can be down, that's normal, and there probably can be local reasons why certain sites are temporarily inaccessible in certain countries, as well.
And for the proxy, it depends on which one you're using. There are proxies that work better and proxies that don't work at all. I never use proxies because I made only bad experiences with them.

Australia, planned on filters before, though they've been shot down. And it was up for others the whole time. So it was probably just my ISP messing up.

I still doubt that Australia would ban a site like Derpibooru or Equestria Daily. There is no reason why the australian government would have something against those sites.
