webzine.puffy.cafe is is not accessible from Russia: connection timed out.
Is this a server-side block?

The DNS seems okay with DNS Checker, if I choose Russian Federation.
Maybe @prx will have more informations

Could you share your IP? I asked the person hosting the webzine, and they don't do geo IP blocking, but use some blocking list, maybe your current IP ended in one :/

The server is not blocking, so it may happen at the ISP level.

As a workaround to the current situation, and to improve the webzine availability, I'm going to publish it on IPFS in addition to the traditional website.

You can use the CID QmdtdqNnJEjzDLAiLKRB5vJ3X8Y3rBHAvZMM42JZaJmKwg on any IPFS gateway.

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdtdqNnJEjzDLAiLKRB5vJ3X8Y3rBHAvZMM42JZaJmKwg/public/ should work for THE CURRENT STATE of the webzine

You can find a list of IPFS gateway on https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/ or run a local IPFS gateway

CID are immutables, they represent the state of the webzine at this point in time. I'll have to create an IPNS for dynamic CID resolution, or publish the CID for every new published versions, I don't know.

The person hosting the server may add onion and/or i2p service too if that can help?

Thanks, I'm already using tor as a proxy to access the site.

It seems to be better now : https://ping-admin.com/free_test/result/16621091282j8w1iui8zbc03511931d.html

Maybe we can add the link of the IPNS on the main page of the webzine, so we can share it globally. If needed, I might add an I2P endpoint on my server for redirection.
