TrueNAS Scale Update issues again

It seems that TrueNAS has update issues again; the update.xsystems.com domain is unreachable. However, I think the main issue is that link.storjshare.io is blocked again due to security concerns. Perhaps it would be a good idea to stop using this domain/CDN(?).

Are you from Spain Italy or the UK? If yes then blame your government. Nothing wrong with storj, but your dipshit politicians decided to do stupid things…

This is not a problem related to a country, government or politics. The issue is that you can often find Storj on widely used ad/security blocklists. I won’t discuss the reasons for that, but it’s a fact that these issues damage the reputation of TrueNAS/xsystems.

Couldn’t agree more.

It’s both. You are both right, there have indeed been issues with Storj getting added to block lists every now then for a while now.

But as @LarsR says, there is also active wide scale blocking (of services like Cloudflare) going on in certain European countries. This blocking expanded a month or so ago. There have been multiple posts and topics about it the last few weeks.

I’ve just done a little investigating and found that the host/domain link.storjshare.iois still blocked (unfortunately I cannot post screenshots here), but you can check it by yourself here: https://quad9.net/de/result/

The domain is still blocked due to the following concerns:

  • Team Cymru - Botnet Analysis and Reporting Service (BARS)

It’s just for your information.

Just a little remark, Team Cymru is american :wink:

Looks like link.storjshare.io is at least resolving now, but it is still blocked by Quad9. I have not received a response yet from Quad9. I temporarily added Google DNS in the meantime.
