Kicad.org access from Russian IP addresses

Is kicad.org blocked from access from Russian Geolocated IP addresses? Trying to go from there leads to “connection from 188.114.98.224 timed out”.

I am able to reach kicad.org using a VPN server located in Moscow.

We aren’t doing any blocking.

From what I have heard, Russia has been blocking half the internet for 10+ years.

Looks like it is blocked by Russia

That’s a broken test site, it even says yandex.ru is blocked :wink:

This isn’t the address of any of the kicad.org sites, but seems to be a Cloudflare server which protects from DoS attacks. If your and others Internet connections are being proxied by -cough-censor-cough- servers, it could look like the exit IP of the server is flooding the Cloudflare server with requests.

Not even China does that. That’s not how any of the censorship implementations work.
