Hello everyone, Since yesterday, I've been having trouble accessing the Arch Wiki from my network. My browser tells me the site is taking too long to respond. I've already tried things like changing DNS and restarting my router (which still gave me the same IP address I had). I know there were recent DDoS attacks against other Arch sites like the AUR. However, I've checked the Wiki status [1] and everything seems normal. I've also tried using tools to change the IP address, and I can access it. I've confirmed there are recent edits, which tells me it's not a global issue. My concern is that they've blocked me—not my username, but my IP address. I tend to be active reading and editing on the Wiki. Could someone confirm whether IP-based blocks are currently in place, and if so, how can I request to be unblocked? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi Kevin, It could be a possibility. You can contact one of the devops on IRC Devops channel or DM me in IRC / Matrix. Alternatively send me your IP on an direct email to check.

Does KevinCrrl's issue related to https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-general@lists.archlinux.org/t... ? I do not know if Anubis is still deployed, or has not been improved in the mean while.

Anubis does not do IP-based blocks, so this can never be the cause of Anubis.

Even if Anubis would make address-based choices, it’s an application running on target’s machine. So it requires connection to be established and everything loaded. While KevinCrrl reports his browser can’t make connection. That is a few steps before Anubis would even know about KevinCrrl.
I've managed to access it again. It seems it was someone connected to my IP. I contacted a developer by email and it's fixed. Thanks everyone for the help. Kevin El vie, 12 de sept de 2025, 10:14 a.m., mpan <archml-y1vf3axu@mpan.pl> escribió:
