Has Kiwi Farms now been kicked off the internet? It doesn’t show up in Google, there is no link on the Wikipedia page, and a more recent Cloudflare announcement says they stopped providing DDoS protection service.
- sweetbitter 4y agoThey seem to be online via Tor, but have temporarily taken down whatever proxy/server their .net domain points to for the last ~week for reasons. It's likely that they will put their stuff back online though. And before that they were online on clearnet for many weeks and thwarting DDoS fine.
- Gigachad 4y agoThe owner has been posting updates on telegram. He didn’t take it down. The tier 1 ISP Zayo blackholes his IP. He has VPS providers willing to host the site but there are only 16 tier 1 ISPs and now that they are engaging in censorship, it’s impossible to run anything but a tor site. And the owner stated that if he is unable to get back on the clear net he will shut the site down and change name.
- postultimate 4y agoDoes 'blackhole' imply that Zayo accepted packets for delivery and then threw them away ? Because if UPS had done that, someone would have gone to prison.
- sweetbitter 4y agoLooks like it's back online, anon.
- pseudo0 4y agoA week ago, they were dropped by their ISP, Zayo, for an alleged violation of Zayo's AUP. There was a thread discussing this last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33307711 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33307711
