Hello,

very starnge, I can reach Asstr only with TOR or a VPN with a non european IP !

I contacted some friends, from France and Belgium, we all have the same trouble.

Do Rey del Sexo knows about this ?

Thank you.

I just tried now and the site is unavailble and ditto for the sftp.

My history shows access yesterday including stuff upload in the last couple
of days.

Is it crashed again, or taken down?

No idea. But the DNS is reachable. If it was taken down, I would have
expected that Rey would have made an announcement. I will guess crashed or
host not paid.

I would hope that Rey makes some announcement after he gets your forward
messages.

A reliable source tells me that it is not a technical problem and restoring
access is being worked on.

Be patient and stay safe.

Thank you Y and Tim.

Meanwhile TOR do not work anymore from Europe to reach Asstr but editing hosts
as Tim explained is a solution for some of us also for Europe.

Just imagine how many Asstr readers are here to read this solution and able to
understand it :-(

We all would be very happy if Rey give us some informations.

Asstr is irreplaceable.
