Why can't I access Catbox/access files on Catbox (files.catbox.moe)?

Good question! It turns out certain governments in the world hate freedom of information, don't have net neutrality, don't see online service providers as legally exempt entities, or a combination of the three!

You will have issues accessing Catbox/files on Catbox if you are connecting from the following countries or providers:

Austrailia

Why? - The Australian government had a heart attack after the Christchurch shooting, and decided that Catbox was a terrorist propaganda spreading website, and has instructed multiple Australian ISPs to implement DNS blocks of Catbox's domains.

How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.

Ireland/UK

Why? - Unfortunately the love of footy has overtaken the sensibilites of the British and Irish governments, and they have decided to implement an IP level block on Catbox's primary IP address, due to clips of games being uploaded to Catbox..

How to resolve? - You will need to utilize a VPN in order to evade this traffic hijack.

Iran

Why? - Unknown, but I'm sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.

How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.

Afghanistan

Why? - Unknown, but I'm sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.

How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.

Comcast/Comcast Business

Why? - Comcast Business' "SecurityEdge" hijacking attack intecepts traffic going towards Catbox. Residential customers are blocked by "xFi Advanced Security" I have been unable to determine if this is a DNS level block, or an IP level block.

How to resolve? - Comcast Residential: Disable the "xFi Advanced Security" hijack on your router. Comcast Business: Disable the "SecurityEdge" hijack on your account. See here.

Spectrum

Why? - Spectrum's "SecurityEdge" hijacking attack intercepts DNS requests for Catbox for an unknown reason.

How to resolve? - Spectrum Residential customers should disable the "SecurityEdge" hijack in their router/account settings, or use a VPN to bypass the hijack.

Rogers

Why? - Unknown. It appears to be dynamically filtering web traffic to Catbox.

How to resolve? - Disable the "Advanced Security" hijack attack in your Rogers settings

Quad9

Why? - Quad9 actually pulls an aggregate list of URL blacklists and uses them for their filtered DNS service. Catbox is frequently added to no-name blacklists for various reasons.

How to resolve? - Use Quad9's alternative DNS server 9.9.9.10, or switch to another public DNS server.

I can access catbox with or without vpn. However, it seems to be down frequently.

About 10-20% of the time I visit a catbox link it's down. Usually comes back up later that day.

I can now that I changed my DNS to a cloudflare DNS.

Yes. Using Jewgle's DNS, major USA internet provider.

Some people say they have problems on mobile. One thing that occurred to me is that this may be an IPv6 issue for some people. Catbox.moe is IPv4 only. Here's how you can test if this is the problem:

Can you visit https://ipv4.jamieweb.net/ ?

That site is also IPv4 only. If the answer is no, then you will not be able to visist catbox.moe without using a VPN or some tunneling service.

Yes, when going through Private Internet Access' VPN.

Yes, but sometimes not.

Is there a yes, but not 10 minutes ago, wait it's down now, nope it's back but I can't load my video worth a fuck, down, back, works great, wait not now, back but now I'm done on the toilet - option?

sometimes
