Neocities hadn't worked for me all day until someone told me to grab a VPN and try.
I don't know what's going on but I guess the UK and parts of west europe can't access neocities normally anymore.
if I had to speculate i think it might be related to the age verification laws?? imgur basically blocked itself here in order to not comply (and instead shows a giant banner that takes up entirely way too much space instead of any image) and I think it makes sense for neocties to also do that. but that's just a theory it could also just as easily be a weird bug with the servers

can also confirm here - the second I turned my vpn off and reloaded neocities just refused to load, and worked just fine when I turned it back on

well that's upsetting
Guess it's solved now? Alrighty.
I'm getting this right now actually, not sure what's causing it but it's really annoying.....
