There was a problem on our end. Please try registering again or email support@etsy.com for assistance." Support@ address auto-replies with "This is not a monitored inbox." | | genius.com | Displays a condescending and infantile page claiming the site is down. In actuality HTTP status is 403 because you are blocked and "refreshing the page might help" is a lie | | github.com | SSH connections are silently dropped after key exchange. Also sporadically blocked from search for "abuse" Seems to work fine as of late 2023 - early 2024 | | gofundme.com | Claims 502 bad gateway | | he.net tunnelbroker | Connections to common IRC ports are blocked | | imgur.com | Returns json claiming imgur is over capacity and a 403 status.

Web requests would get a cloudflare block page, but API calls from the client would fail in non-obvious ways. Seems to be reverted since 2FA was forced on everyone. Protonmail completely blocked | | yelp.com | Blank page, HTTP 403 |
