Adblocker? Some lists will block dynamic dns providers (badblock for sure has afraid.org). If so you want to exempt that since you legitimately use it.

    tried it via tor

    Doesn't load in Tor for me either but I suspect their site is simply blocking Tor. The site does load fine outside Tor in the regular clearnet.

    9 times out of 10 these sort of things turn out to be a DNS issue on your end, you might want to double-check you're actually able to query their IP address via nslookup freedns.afraid.org or similar. (assuming you've already tried other web browsers to rule out issues with installed extensions or specific browser settings).

    edit2: thanks again everyone, you don't need to check if it's working. apparently I'm blocked from accessing the site, can't see any other explanation. DNS resolves fine, flushed caches, tried private mode, clear cookies, tried everything on my end to rule stuff out, nothing

    You might run traceroutes/mtr to see where exactly this is failing. Here's the IP I show in case yours differs:

    ➜  ~ dig freedns.afraid.org @10.10.0.1 A
