Why do cat moe links never seem to work for me. At least not the video links like 90% of the time
This is part of their FAQ, copying here because I assume you can't access it. Maybe it has your situation.
Tap for spoiler
* Good question! It turns out certain governments in the world hate freedom of information, don't have net neutrality, don't see online service providers as legally exempt entities, or a combination of the three!
* You will have issues accessing Catbox/files on Catbox if you are connecting from the following countries or providers:
Austrailia
* Why? - The Australian government had a heart attack after the Christchurch shooting, and decided that Catbox was a terrorist propaganda spreading website, and has instructed multiple Australian ISPs to implement DNS blocks of Catbox's domains.
* How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
Ireland/UK
* Why? - Unfortunately the love of footy has overtaken the sensibilites of the British and Irish governments, and they have decided to implement an IP level block on Catbox's primary IP address, due to clips of games being uploaded to Catbox..
* How to resolve? - You will need to utilize a VPN in order to evade this traffic hijack.
Iran
* * Why? - Unknown, but I'm sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
* How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
Afghanistan
* Why? - Unknown, but I'm sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
* How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
Comcast/Comcast Business
* Why? - Comcast Business' "SecurityEdge" hijacking attack intecepts traffic going towards Catbox. Residential customers are blocked by "xFi Advanced Security" I have been unable to determine if this is a DNS level block, or an IP level block.
* How to resolve? - Comcast Residential: Disable the "xFi Advanced Security" hijack on your router. Comcast Business: Disable the "SecurityEdge" hijack on your account. See here.
Spectrum
* Why? - Spectrum's "SecurityEdge" hijacking attack intercepts DNS requests for Catbox for an unknown reason.
* How to resolve? - Spectrum Residential customers should disable the "SecurityEdge" hijack in their router/account settings, or use a VPN to bypass the hijack.
Rogers
* Why? - Unknown. It appears to be dynamically filtering web traffic to Catbox.
* How to resolve? - Disable the "Advanced Security" hijack attack in your Rogers settings
Verizon
* Why? - Unknown. This is a DNS based block, which means Verizon's DNS servers are returning no result for catbox.moe.
* How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
Quad9
* Why? - Quad9 actually pulls an aggregate list of URL blacklists and uses them for their filtered DNS service. Catbox is frequently added to no-name blacklists for various reasons.
* How to resolve? - Use Quad9's alternative DNS server 9.9.9.10, or switch to another public DNS server
Yeah, catbox is notoriously spotty. It’s outright blocked in many areas, and I have to VPN to a different location to even access it. And even after that, getting a full video to load is an exercise in patience. After trying four different VPN servers I finally got it to connect… And then it would only load the first 15-20 seconds. Not sure why it’s so popular here.
It's tough to find free, no login video hosting. Do you have a preferred service? Open to suggestions!
And fwiw this is on litter because cat box proper wasn't uploading right :/
