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.

    It’s blocked by all of Australia, Comcast and other US companies, and more, apparently.

    Yeah.

    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.

    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.
