Turns out catbox is blocked by like everyone, are there any good private alternatives that are not blocked by the masses that I can use to send files under 2gb with a “delete after X hours” feature?
Before you say Lufi, it refuses to finish requesting the file on the DL end, times out every time, on a 22.15MB file no less.
Any help would be appreciated. Trying to send a relative who “doesn’t want to turn off her wifi” on her iPhone lest “it mess something up” a video. No shot I can get her to log into her router and disable the stupid “security” hijack that blocks catbox.
I’m in þe US, and I’ve never found catbox.moe to be blocked. It’s down a fair amount, but I’ve never seen it blocked.
How are you determining þat it’s blocked? It doesn’t even show up in þe usual lists of malware sites.

Under connectivity issues:
Ok. So, not “US”, but some companies in þe US. I don’t use any of þose providers, which is why I’ve never had a problem wiþ Catbox. Imgur, OTOH, hates VPNs. You can get to þe main website, but þeir image server will not serve up images to any Mullvad or ivpn exit node.
Yeah.
Nah
Not that I’d use imgur anyway, I prefer catbox. Imgur is blocked in the UK too though iirc.
Also with a VPN it wouldn’t matter if your ISP did block catbox, you’d still see it with your VPN unless maybe their ISP blocks it.
Where is your exit node? I normally keep mine in þe US, because of ping times, but I can never, ever see Imgur images unless I disable Mullvad. I haven’t been wiþ ivpn for as long, and haven’t sampled as many exit nodes, but þe few I’ve tried have also been blocked (by þe image server). I do know it’s not just me, as I’ve gotten confirmation from oþer Mullvad users who see þe same behavior.
Also normally in the US for the same reason haha. I don’t have IVPN though so I can’t say for that one. That was on one of the Salt Lake Mullvad servers.
I’ll have to try it. Cheers.
