lol it uses proxy.duckduckgo.com as a proxy to load them in the page. I mean, sure, it's better than using a VPN, but I mean, c'mon. By the way, as someone who has been hosting images on imgur for years, it was extremely annoying. Even worse, all the guides I made here on Doom9 still point to the imgur URL and I have no intention to change them right now, so we'll see.

Did you think those images are loaded by magic?! :D
BTW, Imgur blocks VPNs too, but not all of them are blocked.

OK, so why aint there a test image in this thread ?

I stole one from FaBB, a bit big though. {required F5 screen refresh after posting to show it.}


EDIT: OK, found a smaller one.

That didn't cross my mind.
You are welcome!

I did try to find TOS regarding blocked countries, but was unsuccessful. Can somebody enlighten me ?

United Kingdom
Maybe these are blocked or used to be blocked: China, Russia, Indonesia, Turkey

I actually moved to postimages ever since and it seems to be working well, but yeah it was a bummer. I tried the unblocker and although it works at home, it didn't work in the office (yes, the usual "great sky firewall strikes again". :().

[VoodooFX]

Postimages isn't very reliable, in my opinion. I've seen many images disappear from it.

IMO, Imgbox (https://imgbox.com) is most reliable. I've used it even before Imgur and haven't noticed a single image disappear from there.

I made a script for it, Imgbox Tweaker:

I think Indonesia is no longer blocked, as for now I can see the embedded images from you and the Tinman.

Maybe not related, in v1.6 I've fixed an issue (https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/issues/2404) with Violentmonkey + some sites.
Did you use Tampermonkey?

I was using Tampermonkey on Chrome 145 running on Suckdows 11 Enterprise x64.
