Got a update on the region issue I've been having a few days now.
Apparently Kemono servers is 100% blacklisted in certain countries. By Verizon, along with Nyaa, Mangadex and a bunch of other servers. Protected by ddos-guard on the 185.178.208.0 network addresses.
They are purposefully incorrectly routing them to the /32 network instead of the correct /24 network that ddos-guard runs, so changing DNS will not bypass it, only a VPN or using Tor browser
You can verify this by plugging the IP address of the server you are trying to connect to into
You must be registered to see the links
in Show BGP Route mode. Any result that shows the address with /32 at the end will have its packets dropped because it is not a valid address.
The admins/Mods of the site should've let us know which regions are messed up and say what's being done or planned to bring those regions back online. Some people are able to load the site & images fine, but others(Like myself) still can't get anything to work. But like I say before, their communication for MAJOR issues like this is nonexistent.
There really isn't much kemono can do to escape this kind of blacklist. The best I can do for now is to share this information with others and use a VPN when needed. It not a solution for this problem, just a workaround.
