I wonder when they will start doing this to all alternate conservative sites like Frankspeech Gettr and others.

I suspect China is involved here, since The Epoch Times is a Falun Gong/anti-China publication.

[Puppage]

Not loading here in CT either.

[Kipp]

xfinity in California - won’t load for me either. Can’t get it on my phone either - not xfinity phone - haven’t tried turning wifi off.

[LilFarmer]

Not loading for me in GA either

[Vermont Lt]

Western MA, can’t get it on Xfinity. Loads right up on my Verizon phone.

[TChad]

I can ping theepochtimes.com but cannot load the page. I’m not sure of my service provider, I’m currently on a public wifi channel, but I suspect it is Comcast.

[Qiviut]

Xfinity customer - loaded for me.

[SaxxonWoods]

Meh, Google shadow-bans Free Republic. It used to come right up after freerep, but now you have to type the entire name in.

VPN would obviously get around their block.

[for-q-clinton]

Epochtimes is the only news I really trust. And I actually have a paid subscription to it as I want to support them because they appear to be honest journalist.

[for-q-clinton]

Bing still has it come up ;-)

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Only Chinese language site available.

English language site unavailable. Ha Ha, suck it round eyes.

I use mediacom and can access the site.

[glorgau]

or maybe, don't use the comcast dns servers. try using another one

here are some alternatives 20 best alternative dns servers

ymmv

[rarestia]

If they’re blocking it via DNS, change your DNS. If they’re blocking the IP, that’s a problem.

[Drago]

Do we have the legit IP number(s) for “The EpochTimes.com”?? My DNS is saying it is “151.139.128.11”. Just switched DNS providers to “1.1.1.1”...no help so far. Using a VPN server in San Jose, CA does work.

[dforest]

I used Brave and TOR . I was able to get it to load.
