Update on the DNS fuckery
Here's the situation right now. I have tested with 4 DNS servers (my ISP, Google, Cloudflare and OpenDNS). All 4 are in agreement. This was not the case 2 or 3 days ago so this is an improvement. There are 9 valid IP addresses:
94.103.81.80
94.103.82.74
94.103.94.73
109.234.38.4
109.234.38.11
193.178.169.19
193.178.169.117
195.2.92.96
195.2.93.193
These are for 8kun.top, media.8kun.top, softserve.8kun.top and nerv.8kun.top (the critical ones are the first two). The posting server is sys.8kun.top (185.165.190.88) but that one has not been an issue for the past week.
Now, the problem appears to be that the default DNS server provided by your ISP may not be updating to the new IP address list. My own ISP is fine but this may not be true for you. You can either change your DNS server or modify your "hosts" file. The addresses for some alternative DNS servers are:
Cloudflare - 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
Google - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
OpenDNS - 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
I have seen suggestions that Google has been purporsely mucking up the DNS. From what I can tell, the fault lies with Vanwanet. Maybe they were upgrading their network so the pain may be worth it. I see no indication of a "conspiracy" against us. Just to set the record straight.
If you modify your "hosts" file, just pick one of the 9 IP addresses from the list above. You don't need to use all of them. As long as everybody is not using the same address then it's cool.
That's it for now. Carry on.
