The site was down due to a technical problem I am at fault for. It's not completely fixed yet, so there may be downtime tomorrow as well. Sorry.

Maintenance has been completed and chat is back up.

I am receiving reports that Qwest/CenturyLink customers are once again being prohibited by their ISP from accessing our US legal company. Impacted customers should immediately complain.

A temporary routing issue has been fixed so most people should be able to access the Kiwi Farms again.

Customers of CenturyLink/Qwest are still prohibited from using the Internet correctly, as are customers of any ISP who use Lumen as their T1 upstream. These impacted customers should contact their ISP to complain.

The forum is currently unavailable to many users due to a faulty fiber optic cable that is already being replaced. In the mean time, using Tor over clearnet or a European VPN will suffice.

Edit: Back up.

I have received reports that CenturyLink and Arelion have stopped blackholing our network. This means that #DropKiwiFarms has regressed all progress since September, and no T1 is blackholing anymore.

It is still sad to see that it ever got this far, and there are still major companies refusing to provide essential service directly to us, but that these T1s are not actively censoring web traffic is a huge win. No one should ever tolerate this behavior from essential infrastructure under any circumstances.

A modern person requires fair access to the Internet, financial services, legal counsel, electricity, and water to conduct a business. Right now the payment networks censor almost arbitrarily, the Internet is starting to buckle under the weight of its own importance, and a violent freakshow mob threatens lawyers and registered agents to try and deprive you of essential services and aid.

I'm fed up and I hope you are too. Don't let them bully you into fear and submission. I'd rather fucking die.

The site is down due to an issue with Epik's authoritative nameserver. This is temporary.

Tor continues to work. You can also resolve kiwifarms.net to 103.114.191.1 manually.

Edit: It's back up.

If you are in the webhosting industry, check that you do not do business with Path. Ensure that your upstream also do not do business with Path. Nobody should do business with Path.

Path isn't affiliated with #DropKiwiFarms, and is a DDoS mitigator founded by former DDoS providers out of Lulzsec. They are the company that issued a phony court order to try and seize our harddrives over a year ago. They are an extremely belligerent group of people who have been trying to strike a killing blow to the site for years, all to protect Corey Barnhill, their CTO who has admitted on record that he forced his girlfriend to watch child pornography where a prepubescent girl is anally raped. He has since changed his name, but through his association with Path, his new name leaks occasionally.

Again: All service providers in the webhosting industry should ensure by whatever means available to them that they are not putting any traffic through Path.
