Papitos I need your help with a problem accessing GAF

So two days ago I noticed that I wasnt able to access GAF from anywhere, nor the phone or the computer. I asked my girlfriend to try as well and she has the same issue with her phone and laptop. At first I thought the website was down but then I asked Tyler the owner of the website and he says it was working perfectly fine. So I called my internet provider and they say that everything seems to work fine on their end and that the issue is that something is going with this website in particular because absolutely every other website works completely fine.

So it seems like using firefox VPN I can get in but this is obviously not a great solution and I would to hear your thoughts about what can I do here

This is the error that I get, what should I do to fix this?

Mmm, have you tried to flush your local dns cache? Sometimes small errors in the local dns might cause this, are you all tried to connect to neogaf from the same router ?

I think I havent tried that I will look into it. And we both tried from our mobile data and the router and the issue persists

Just ask Google, it seems there can be problems sometimes with Finland and Google will give you lots of things to try. I just checked for you.

This is what google gemini says

Use a VPN or ProxyConnect through a VPN server in a neighboring country (such as Sweden, Germany, or the UK). If the site loads immediately via VPN, NeoGAF or Cloudflare has geo-blocked or flagged Finnish IP ranges.

It won't be GAF that's for sure. GAF even works in China with no VPN.

"If Cloudflare is blocking you from accessing a website, it means your IP address, browser, or network behavior triggered a security rule. You can try turning off your VPN, clearing your browser cookies, or switching networks. If the block persists, you must contact the website owner directly"

I think ultimately the owners should contact with cloudflare

Change your DNS and see if it helps.

Primary DNS: 9.9.9.9
Secondary DNS: 149.112.112.112
And enable DNS over HTTP and choose custom on Firefox and use: https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query

I also noticed that you're from Finland. Then I'm convinced without a shadow of a doubt, that you are most definitely gay. Finland is a gay country. You're still my friend regardless. You're just my gay friend now that's from Finland.
But I guess, if I mention that you are my friend from Finland, then I don't even need to mention that you happen to be gay. It's already a given.

I am a Spanish man living in Finland because of work which is very different but maybe its too late to change your mind

Same problem in Sweden. The icon looks broken on google so I just assumed it had gotten DoS:ed or something.

NeoGaf is clearly racist and fascistic towards Finns and Swedes. That's what happens when Americans get jealous of our game making skills.
