I can't access content.minetest.net

by Chrysolite Azalea » Post

Hello everyone! I have problems with accessing content.minetest.net

I can't access it, neither from my home network, nor from my dormitory network, nor from my university network (I'm in Russia, studying in South Ural State University), neither through browser, nor through Minetest client. I can access it through Tor. However, as I recently checked, content.minetest.net is not listed as blocked/prohibited in government database.

Does anyone else have the similar problem?

I can't access it from my home. Also, it can be because of my ISP.

What happens? Does it time out, is there a connection refused, or what?

Other things to try:

The result of dig all content.minetest.net will show where the DNS points to

The result of traceroute content.minetest.net (or tracepath on Ubuntu) will show where the connection is lost (maybe PM, as it is sensitive)

I'm not sure how to do these on Windows, but they're packages on most Linux distros. On Ubuntu, it's dnsutils for dig, tracepath is installed by default.

@Rubenwardy
Better describe that these are terminal commands, not all people know about such things.

That's the old IP address, looks like there's a DNS server incorrectly caching the old value somewhere. I'm not sure if I can fix this

Can you please tell me the actual IP address? Maybe adding it to /etc/hosts would help.

Oh thank you!

Sorry, for the inconvenience. Turns out, the error was caused by an incorrect record in /etc/hosts on my laptop. The wrong record has been removed, the site is accessible.
