Can't access Exhentai, does anyone here have a similar issue?

[Sibobo]

Was anyone successful in getting access by creating an account through a VPN or proxy? If so, mind sharing the steps or VPN used?

From a 4chan thread I read I think the exhentai site admins are recently "blocking" certain countries where if the IP address you had when you created an account belongs to one of those countries then your account can NEVER get access to exhentai (also applies to some abused IP addresses).

I personally made 3 accounts and did the usual "activities" to try to get those accounts "verified". Especially on the first one which is year old now I hit level 30 in their hentaiverse game, seeded some galleries, made some comments, did some currency trading, even PMed the owner Tenboro on the forums.
This should have verified at least the first account but none of them got access.
Only reason I can think of is sometime in the past 2 years they started blocking accounts by registration IP (since I tried every other conceivable method).

Thirsting for access since I got access for about 2 weeks by using the shared Chinese account script which got banned on New Years

I used a VPN set to US region to create an account, checked back on the account 2 weeks later using the same VPN and region, but to no avail. I think i'll use TOR to create an account and wait for a week or so to see if it works,

I also heard about this a few days ago, apparently it practically extends to the what country you register your email as (the email, not the e-hen account itself... or so I heard). I also heard that it seems everything Asia has been ip banned for exhen. That leaves... US and UK based email? I haven't tried creating a new email myself though so I can't be sure.

 

[claralover]

i've tried literally everything and it just doesn't work, I can only assume it's my account for some reason

 

[trueporn]

I don't know why they enjoy locking the fucking website so damn tight, it genuinely pisses me off that doing the things that people have repeated thousands of times doesn't do jack shit, also what the fuck is exxx.ml, it sometimes just redirects me there

Damn what a shame I was also about to try this...
Maybe they also blocked the IP addresses of some commonly used VPN nodes. I think the only methods at this point is to use someone else's account with access or literally travel to non-IP blocked countries.

Found a method that worked for me.

1. Download, install and open Tor
2. Log in to your E-hentai. It may ask you to do a captcha. if the captcha fails to load, close the browser or click new identity
3. Open Exhentai and pray it works
4. If it doesn't, click the new identity button on the upper right corner and repeat from step 2

Did it last night and got in on my first try, but it seems it doesn't always work immediately because the following morning I spent three hours of repeating the process until I got in. So you might have to do multiple tries before you get in.

I think I found a workaround on the log-in process in Tor. Turns out, the reason why you have to log-in multiple times is because the exit node (think the country you're disguised as) changes randomly every time you enter a website. And as we know, Ex has banned a lot of country IP's.

To deal with this you need to set a specific exit node as the default. Specifically a country that Ex doesn't block

1. Go to \Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc (this changes depending on where tor is installed)
2. Open torrc with notepad
3. Copy and paste "ExitNodes {us} StrictNodes 1" at the bottom
4. Save and exit

Now your exit node should always be set as United States where Ex isn't blocked. Other countries might work but the US is the only one that works for me at the moment. To check if it is set to the US just click the padlock beside the url. The exit node is the country in the bottom end of the Tor Circuit.

Now follow the standard steps of logging in to E-hentai before opening Ex and the website should display correctly. Hope this helps.

Really appreciate the guide but unfortunately it didn't work for my accounts.
I think the IP ban during registration which I mentioned before is the main issue. I can easily use another person's account (which has access) on my normal Asian IP with no issues, so the ban is probably not when you connect to the exhentai host but on the account you use.

Edit: Nevermind, it somehow worked on one of my newer accounts.
The TOR method CoomerBoomer shared is the only solution I have found to work, thank you to him.
My statement on the ban not during connection should be false and I think exhentai uses BOTH account bans based on IP during registration AND blocks current IP addresses.
If this method gets you into exhentai IMMEDIATELY COPY YOUR IGNEOUS STRING and manually input into cookie if you need it another time.
Kudos to you CoomerBoomer

Hmm.... I assume you will need to register a new account using a new email then. What email do you use? I don't think I can use Gmail for an Exhen account....

 

[CoomerBoomer]

I don't think a new account is needed though. My account uses gmail and is already several months old before entering Ex for the first time the other day.

Edit: Someone handed me a month-old account and asked me to see if I can log it in on my tor with my settings. It didn't enter for some reason so there might be a few details affecting the log-in process that we haven't figured out.

Well i just made a new account through tor with the node set to us like CoomerBoomer said, hopefully it'll work next week.

But, it doesn't let me register my account via TOR, i click "submit" but it just refreshes the login page.

Right click on the page, go to the noscript, and enable it the website so the captcha can appear.

 

[f96zon3]

Okay I'd like to suggest that if there's anyone willing to share their extra EH account that can easily access to exhentai.

 

[jol2r]

This site.. my account is years old at this point and I haven't been able to see what exhentai even looked like once.

Update: It worked.

Update: It worked.

whatd you do? did you make any posts or you just logged in and went to exhentai?

New accounts registered on E-Hentai need to wait one week until they're activated (and then, log into ExHentai). Like CoomerBoomer said, the site has blocked many countries IP's / VPNs exit nodes, so Tor is our only option.

I suggest you make a new account right now following the steps mentioned above, but I doubt ExH will be able to bypass Tor Browser, as you can use bridges to get where you desire.
