The VOGONS site doesn't seem to be accessible in the LibreWolf web browser, I'm just seeing this:

In Brave which I'm using to post this, everything works fine. I can't spot anything too suspicious in the network output:

I would guess this is user agent filtering being done by the site operators to fend off scanners, scrapers and general malfeasance

I'm on the latest version of LibreWolf (148.0-1) as of this writing, and it works fine with Vogons. Been using that browser for over a year now, never had any problems with this forum.

That said, I did disable some of the privacy settings, such as the anti fingerprinting thing, since it annoyed me that it wouldn't remember the window size.

It's been broken here for days, still ongoing. So it's not a sporadic failure. No other site seems to be affected.

This has been going on for months. There was a previous thread about it.

Is there some way to connect the necessary information so the moderators can look at what's going on?

I only use librewolf to browse vogons and haven't ever had any issues.
I've been using 138.0.1-2 and just upgraded to 148.0-1 with no issues.
Also using Windows 11.

Are you using Brave to post here and not Librewolf?
