For those in countries that censor the Internet, such as the UK where I live, this page basically says what Anna's Archive is (very superficially), shares some useful URLs to accessing the data, asks for donations, and says an "enterprise-level donation" can get you access to a SFTP server with their files on it.

[tirant]

It is also censored in Germany.

This is only done at the DNS level, so using a different DNS (such as Quad9) solves that issue. For background info, I can recommend [1, 2].

Yay, MITM in the wild :)

I got it on my phone, but not with my local ISP.

In other news, Project Gutenberg not completely censored in Germany. Well done, Germany. https://cand.pglaf.org/germany/index.html

And the works that previously had lead to Project Gutenberg being unavailable from Germany IP addresses will go into public domain in 2027.

I can access the site just fine from Germany. Tried Vodafone and Congstar but I don't use their DNS servers.

[driverdan]

Stop using your ISP's DNS. Switch to a DNS provider that doesn't censor content.

[squidbeak]

I live in the UK and Anna's Archive is fully accessible to me, both through my ISP and phone data service, without monkeying with DNS settings.

[iknowstuff]

its possible your browser used DoH. Some have started shipping it by default to encrypt DNS traffic (and use their own resolvers of course). Or maybe your ISP doesn't care

[chrisjj]

Which ISP please?

[Jazgot]

Interesting, I have no issues accessing it in the UK. I use Vodafone broadband or cellular, both fine.

[embedding-shape]

I'm on Vodafone in Spain and I see

> Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

If I try the http version, I get redirected to https://bloqueadaseccionsegunda.cultura.gob.es/ (which also fails with PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR).

If it wasn't enough that half the internet gets unusable whenever there is football on TV (which is fucking stupid), now we're also getting rid of free (text!) information it seems.

For Virgin Media, redirects to https://assets.virginmedia.com/site-blocked.html

> Virgin Media has received an order from the High Court requiring us to prevent access to this site.

[doublerabbit]

Appears that UK EE has it blocked too. Tried this morning waiting for the train in to work.

[_joel]

Works perfecty fine, I'm in the UK. Get a better ISP ;)

[ndsipa_pomu]

Just checked and it's blocked for me if I turn off my VPN - am on VirginMedia.

[MattPalmer1086]

Umm... I'm in the UK and I can see the page fine. Why would you expect this page to be censored?

>In December 2024, the UK Publishers Association won an order from the High Court of Justice requiring major ISPs to block Anna's Archive and other copyright-infringing sites, extending a list of sites blocked since 2015 under section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act

[petercooper]

Others have already posted, but the biggest domestic British ISPs block a variety of things, like SciHub, Libgen, Pirate Bay, or Anna's Archive. Coverage varies a lot though, so I assume ISPs have some discretion and enforcement is patchy.

[mobiuscog]

Also in the UK and can also see it fine.

I wonder if it's blocked simply by DNS manipulation and therefore only people using the ISP DNS have issues.

[zabzonk]

In the UK I'm currently getting:

Hmmm… can't reach this page

Check if there is a typo in annas-archive.li.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

[pipes]

I am in the UK and I can't see it unless I use a VPN. I get

This site can’t provide a secure connection annas-archive.li sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

[barnabee]

Works for me in the UK
