I have had trouble getting on SS through American servers. I used my VPN in Sweden and it allowed me on the site. I guess it's not a big deal, but I'm curious, any other Americans having trouble connecting to the site?

Hey Guest,
We wanted to share a quick update with the community.
Our public expense ledger is now live, allowing anyone to see how donations are used to support the ongoing operation of the site.
👉 View the ledger hereOver the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.
If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

Bitcoin (BTC):Ethereum (ETH):Monero (XMR):I am in the Midwest of the US and I just logged on about a hour ago with no problems. I hope that whoever is not going to start blocking us from getting on SS.
Maybe mods and Admins can shed some light. I'm near in the center of America and can't get on without a vpn.

I was terrified they hit the site, I haven't checked the discord recently so maybe it got taken down before hand, but I thought it was a double strike, phew!

That's what was coming up on my screen. I still can't get on over 4g but I can through a router.

I'm in Canada. In Ontario.
At first i thought that maybe the site had been hit but when i switched from my router to my Data i was able to get on with ease.
Good thing i have a ton of data. Lol.

That's the screen I got yesterday, but it only lasted about 5-10 minutes, and I was able to get back in. I haven't had any issues since. I've gotten that error message quite a few times in the past.

That was awful. From 5pm yesterday to 10am today. I need this forum. It's my only connection to like-minded people. It's practically my only connection to humanity.

So it's not just me? I've been having so many problems with this site this year it has been driving me up the wall! That's a relief to know at least.

I was a little worried too since I'm too dumb to even know how to set up a VPN. I tried looking up how but my clueless self couldn't make any sense of it.

Connectivity issues are starting back up again. They've been ramping back up on me for the last hour or so, and it keeps saying it's a host issue. All other sites were working fine. It will be fine for a bit and then when I try to go into a post, go back a page, reply, boom : connection issue with emphasis on the host connection. Grrrrr.
