The proxy site won't let you download files, but you can view (that I can figure out).
DNS providers seem to have been blocking the domain "files.catbox.moe", specifically. I had to use workarounds myself until I noticed that my router's DNS got magically changed back to utilize my ISP's DNS. Since getting back on Quad9 DNS, they appear to not be blocking "files.catbox.moe" (but have in the past).
Depending on your ISP, modem/router setup, and level of tech-saavyness, changing DNS providers is the best recommendation.
Using Windoze machines and just realized it was about the time my provider upgraded us to high-speed fiber. Gives me an unsecure message when I try to view.
Alright, well you definitely have more options for working around the catbox issue than being on mobile. If you're using Chrome, Brave would be an option to "smoothly" transition into and I believe the TOR-lite functionality is turned on by default for Private windows. If using Edge, Brave will be the next best option, as they all use the same base technology.
Personally, I had downloaded TOR and just copy/pasted the catbox link there to view (and I could download the files too) - just annoying to have to do since GAW likes to host content on there and I was constantly going back and forth.
Hard to speculate with the ISP upgrade to fiber and what might have changed. But, if you're so inclined, purchasing a router that you have direct control over and using it in conjunction with your ISP's modem, would be a good way to "take back the power". Rather than just using all of the equipment you were provided. Many ISP's are locking down their equipment and preventing people from making configuration changes - notably DNS changes.
GAW has speculated in the past that there could be an internet blackout and one of the best ways to do that would be to take down DNS providers:
Desktop or Mobile? If desktop, my suggestion would be to use TOR browser (Brave browser also has a TOR-lite feature for Private windows).
Firefox also has an option to send DNSoverHTTPS requests to Cloudflare, which also might be a workaround (assuming that CF is not blocking either).
If mobile, I'd suggest a proxy site instead: https://hidester.com/proxy/

I have Windows and use the Brave browser. I don't have that problem. It might be DNS or the provider.
