Hm, I got:

"...

European sanctions

The Council of Europe has decided that the websites of RT (formerly Russia Today) and Sputnik News may no longer be transmitted. The website you are trying to visit falls under this European sanction.

..."

I think the website is censored at DNS level but they chose the wrong error page.

In Italy it just errors out with a NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

You're just cleared up a minor mystery I never bothered to investigate (BT, UK). Thanks.

Flipping DNS to 8.8.4.4 fixed it for now but I really need to move this connection to A&A.

Works fine here from a European IP.

It's blocked at least in the Netherlands. Weirdly it mentions it being part of the sanctions against Russia, while from a cursory search I only found a judge ordering the site to be blocked because of copyright issues (thanks Brein). They probably just show the wrong error page?

Switch DNS to like 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google)
