Can’t open Catbox files

submitted by TheOriginal1Icemonkey to AskUpgoat 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 14:22:31 ago (+9/-0)     (AskUpgoat)

Says server cant be found. This happening in Safari and Chrome. It all started when we switched from AT&T to Verizon to try to get better internet out where we are. All other internet things are working just so-so, no better than before.
I’m technically retarded (in many ways).
What to do?

Copy/Paste of connectivity issues section of catbox FAQ: https://pastebin.com/9pkpZ46L


Verizon

Why? - Unknown. This is a DNS based block, which means Verizon's DNS servers are returning no result for catbox.moe.

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.


A VPN app like Privacy Pro would probably fix the issue by allowing you to customize DNS settings and avoid sending name resolution requests to Verizon's DNS servers.


Here is an article discussing how to configure DNS over HTTPS, which may also resolve the issue.


*Edit: Added article on configuring DNS over HTTPS on iOS.

This seems it be the so.ution. Thank you. I will focus on this later.✌️

[ - ] Fascinus 2 points 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 16:25:41 ago (+2/-0)

I should be around later.

Let me know if I can help.

Try this one, hoss.


User @rando has provided a userscript that will automatically change Catbox links to Fatbox, which has been set up to address Catbox accessibility issues.

You can also modify it slightly, for it to work on win/scored.

You can load this:
https://files.catbox.moe/1l8jxj.mp4

as this:
https://files.fatbox.moe/1l8jxj.mp4

cat to fat in the domain name.

Thanks to @JosephGoebbeIs for this idea.

Doesn’t work. I get the same message.
It’s 103 today. I’m tired of touching grass.
Guess I’ll have a drink.

catbox goes down a lot. they've been targeted by cp spam and such afaik.

[ - ] BigFatDaddy 3 points 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 14:54:27 ago (+3/-0)

Same here

[ - ] firestation7 1 point 7 monthsSep 5, 2024 06:52:07 ago (+1/-0)

Verizon blocks catbox. When I use my wife's US cellular hotspot I have no issues.

[ - ] puremadness 1 point 7 monthsSep 5, 2024 04:24:57 ago (+1/-0)

no one can, we're all just too afraid to say anything


they're listening

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 1 point 7 monthsSep 5, 2024 01:37:39 ago (+1/-0)

I use Verizon as well. They started blocking catbox a couple months ago. I have to use a VPN or Wi-Fi to access the site

[ - ] MrPancake 1 point 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 19:13:47 ago (+1/-0)

Verizon blocks Catbox. Use alternate DNS.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey [op] 0 points 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 20:30:47 ago (+0/-0)

I don’t know what that means. What’s a different DNS? I’m on an iPad on cell tower in the cunt-tree.
Can you tell me the steps to take?
I can simply switchback to ATT, no prob.
Thank you.

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 1 point 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 16:05:53 ago (+2/-1)

You need a VPN. And even then, you may need to play around with the VPN location.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey [op] 1 point 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 16:16:24 ago (+1/-0)

But I don’t know how to do that. Gawd I hate this stuff.

[ - ] PotatoWhisperer2 4 points 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 18:24:48 ago (+4/-0)

Gawd I hate this stuff.

Everyone does. That's how computer guys get to be computer guys though, they just keep going through frustration after frustration until the damned thing is fixed. Then they know what to do when their friend/family has the same issue.

Yeah, but the thing changes every other day. I don’t get it. It’s just not my thing. I can create a file or a spreadsheet and send it in an email. That’s all I’ve ever needed to do. At work, I have people smarter than me for those things. I’m just trying to post shitty memes.
I swear, all this technology does is take up more of our time and accomplishes less.

Eh, not really. That's just the queen's rat race of flimflam the retards put out to keep their jobs. The basic shit is always the same, just jiggered differently.

For the most part. Shit does change, just not as much as people would believe.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey [op] 0 points 8 monthsSep 5, 2024 00:03:47 ago (+0/-0)

I guess you’re right. I’m just a dude needing just the basic stuff without all the add-ons.

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 1 point 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 17:12:35 ago (+1/-0)

If you have a smart phone, it's easy to set up with your VPN provider's App Store/Google Play Store app.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey [op] 0 points 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 20:41:54 ago (+0/-0)

I don’t have a smart phone, I talk to you guys on my iPad. My phone is a flip phone. All that other stuff, I don’t know what you said.

Do this:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1-1-1-1-faster-internet/id1423538627

Install it. Toggle it on, see if catbox is still the big gay.

Visible by Verizon also blocks catbox. This app worked around most of the gay, but was not 100% faggot free.

Get used to it.

[ - ] 2Drunk 1 point 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 14:25:10 ago (+1/-0)

Check your browser to make sure "force https" is off. I had a similar problem with catbox all of a sudden and I didn't change anything. I'm not 100% sure that is what solved it but messing with the settings within my browser fixed it somehow.

I’m trying to figure this out and I’m apparently too retarded.
I give up. I’m going back outside.😒

[ - ] iSnark 1 point 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 14:24:46 ago (+1/-0)

Are there any other sites you can't access?

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey [op] 1 point 8 monthsSep 4, 2024 14:31:33 ago (+1/-0)

I can’t seem to bring up any lesbian midget unicorn porn, but that’s a different issue.🤣
No, not that I’ve noticed. Not only can I not open a post in catbox on this site, but I can’t even get to catbox to upload something. Same thing I guess.
I’m on an iPad too, but I’ve always been. And it’s running off the cell tower 2000 yards away.
