8kun is working normally - DNS is fixed
This has not been made perfectly clear yet so I'll explain it. The original issue that started all of these problems with posting is that the posting subdomain "sys.8kun.top" disappeared from the DNS servers worldwide. This is why anons had to modify the "hosts" file to post or go through TOR. The correct IP address for the subdomain is 185.165.190.88. This IP address stopped working (Vanwanet took it down for some reason). Anons had to use the 8kun.top IP addresses to post. Now the correct IP address is working and the DNS is working. The DNS came back up at some time within the last 24 hours but I only checked it less than an hour ago.
Remove the fixes that you made to your "hosts" file. It is not recommended that you keep them. Anons have been using the same IP address for everything and that is not the correct configuration (there are 11 IP addresses plus the one for the posting server).
We are back in business, anons! Well, except for the blocked IPs but that's another story.
