On the night of 18 August, the “international domain name registry” blocked southfront.org without any warning or explanation. Despite the fact that this organisation has been formally independent since 1998, it is actually controlled by the US Department of Commerce. What they have done is an unprecedented action in the history of modern information society. This is the American way of democracy, freedom of speech and the rule of law. Dear Friends, the SF Team appeals to you
Through 10 years of its work, SouthFront Team has repeatedly faced blatant acts of censorship from those who seek to take down really independent media and suppress the truth.
However, on August 18, we experienced something never seen before. The domain of our website, southfront.org, was taken down (domain delegation was removed) on the international level without any advance notice and explanation.
Apparently, the removal of SouthFront from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other mainstream social media, the blocking of accounts and years-long discrimination campaign against our Team, including summoning our volunteers for interrogation by the FBI, have not achieved results expected by instigators of these censorship acts. Therefore, they have turned to desperate moves like this.
In light of this situation, SouthFront Team wants to thank to our fan club in the White House and among the globalist elites for such high recognition of our work.
We also wish to bring good news to employers of numerous offices of state and state-affiliated entities assigned to fight SouthFront. Your well-paid jobs are secure because we are not going to stop our work even in conditions of such unprecedented pressure. Unlike you, ordinary budget-suckers and turncoats, we do what we do at the bidding of our hearts.
The dogs bark, but the caravans move on.
Proving, once again, what a pathetically moronic wench you are?
The dumbest on the forum. Literally.
This is one of the reasons it is important to actually know the IP addresses of sites that may draw the ire of TPTB.
For instance, you can currently reach FR by going to https://45.79.56.181/
Nope. Been done before.
“Nope. Been done before. “
Reference/citation?
Didn’t they do that to The Silk Road, or am I mistaken?
That IP address goes to a page that says: “Success. Your new web server is ready for use”. What does that mean? Did I just subscribe to Virus R Us?
First I have heard of them.

Watch them for huge amounts of video- words are words, hard to deny Ukie losses when thousands of video show their slaughter on the battlefield.
That likely is why they have been removed.
Well, then...you & I both. /s
(seriously, no worries: It’s just a default template message. They’ve been wiped clean)
FR’s security certificate (from Sectigo) expires/expired TODAY (21 Aug 2023)!
Unfortunately, an SSL/TLS certificate is issued for a domain, not an IP address, so going directly to the IP address will get you a “not secure” warning. And, depending on the browser, you may not be able to get past this. (Using a HTTP prefix instead of HTTPS might work, again depending.)
