I always wanted to tell you this but all the images you post in the forums never show up for me and imgur links give http error 429
Maybe your ISP blocks imgur, you're the first person ever reporting this. The links are https (https://i.imgur.com/oYYNtNC.jpeg), so the http error is also a bit weird. Maybe @Alphawaves can shine his light on this? When i google search: "imgur links give http error 429" it gives some info about vpn's being blocked by imgur.
As I'm a user of Peerblock, I can tell you that Imgur is in at least one of the public blocklists. ISPs or other entities (like OpenDNS, for example) might be using these, too.
I'm using cloudflare dns 1.1.1.1 manually on the adapter tcp ipv4 settings, but even after disabling the dns still nothing, i got the same error on chrome, brave and edge, all updated and all, tried disabling ublock origin just in case, also tried incognito mode, nothing works. never faced anything like that with any website before, why would any isp block an image hosting website. but i noticed the browser saying is not secure even with the link being https
yes please, sorry for being off-topic but apparently i get it to work when using a vpn with the location set to russia or france, when location is usa or uk it didn't work though
Look for the fault elsewhere, it's definitely not this, it works perfectly. I just tested 62 different regions over VPN, all work.
Imgur is currently blocked in several countries, including Turkey, Indonesia, China, Russia, India, and Pakistan.
