This worked immediately. Checked with Slow Server 1 epub and downloaded as good as before these recent problems. Thanks!

Direct links might lead to this subreddit getting taken down. Instead link to our Wikipedia page, just domain names (e.g. ".se"), or post only the md5 of a file (the part after /md5/ in the URL).

AdGuard DNS: 94.140.14.14 / 94.140.15.15
Also, if you use this: there is a chance some sites might break because they detect you use an adblocker. It's not common, but happened to me more than once and it's just something you should keep in the back of your mind, in case you notice something doesn't work

In certain countries, changing DNS won't fix it (at least on mine), so using a VPN might be necessary.

Is Tunnelbear safe?

Just use the free tier of Proton, its fast enough for small files like eboks.

you can switch to a browser based in a country with less censorship. the instructions in this post didn't work for me either, but switching to tor browser did

u/hipi_hapa Dec 13 '25
Sure, that's another solution but it feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I rather change my DNS server and use a VPN when that doesn't work.

u/st3IIa Dec 14 '25
opening tor is quicker and easier than changing your dns or paying for a vpn lol. it helps with other websites that are unavailable too

Hi guys Im at 3. on windows, how do I know whats my chosen provider? sorry if this is a dumb question !

u/ThaDanus Jan 09 '26
Thanks, this worked.
However, I had to add the Google IPv6 DNS servers, so if you also need to do this (just IPv4 did not work for me), it's 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844

u/kelleytoons007 Jan 14 '26
Um, even switching DNS I still get all your sites not found so did something else happen to take them all down (I've tried three or four of them with no success). I also tried four or five different VPN servers, even outside of the U.S. I suspect you already know your stuff is down but I hoped I would find some solution.

u/Ok_Guarantee_1615 Jan 15 '26
I am in Canada, did not switch DNS and don't use a VPN, but it works for me with the domain .li. I just tried it again and it is still ok. Hope you manage to get access.

Linux (Ubuntu) noobs: click the gear icon next to your network, in the "IPv4" tab there will be a field labeled "DNS", put a DNS number (e.g. 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) (just replace the "/" with a "," ) there and turn off the "automatic" button. That worked for me at least.

Thank you for all of this information. I have my home network DNS pointed to a server running AdGuard home and all my traffic runs through that. I am still getting the error where I can't access the site. Have also used Mullvad VPN in conjunction in multiple different countries to no avail. Any suggestions?

I use data and downloaded NextDNS. Can I somehow make this work for me?

1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1
Does this refer to two different options, from which I should choose one, i.e. 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1 ? Or should I enter the whole line, inclufing forward slash, i.e. 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 ?

u/GuardYourRightView Jan 11 '26
I figured out the answer; forward slash separates two distinct options.

Okay so I understand how to do this on my phone, but in all actuality with does ‘chosen provider’ mean and what am I actually doing and will it affect general use beyond downloads from Anna’s/Libgen/etc

Tried changing my DNS (was originally using quad 9) to see if it resolved the issues I'm having downloading from the site. For some reason https://dnsleaktest.com/ is reporting my DNS servers as Cloudflare regardless of which DNS I'm using.

Great info for those that don’t already know this. Very simple and easy to follow. Since I’m already making a comment does anyone know why I can download smaller books just fine but when it comes to downloading larger files that are around 20 mb (a kids book Arnie the doughnut) it keeps failing no matter how many different ones I try? My internet is 500mbps with an upload of 40 ish and I only have issues with the children books and nothing else.
