Ankiweb.net no longer accessible

Hi, I am a frequent user of ankiweb.net and I usually access it from China, but it’s been unavailable for two weeks: it takes very long time to load the website until the following shows

Is there any problem with the website? Hope this would be fixed soon. Thanks!

The site loads fine in Safari on a machine here, so I suspect this may be an issue with a network filter - either local antivirus/firewall, or filtering done by your government. The site was updated approximately 2 weeks ago and some files moved around - perhaps the new filenames are mistakenly triggering your antivirus? Have you tried loading the page in a different browser like Chrome?

Hi, thanks for your advice and the problem has been solved.

I have tried Chrome and Safari on iOS 14.3 and the latest macOS Big Sur, Explorer on Windows 7 and Edge on Windows 10, through Wi-Fi connection of my home or workplace. The problem had persisted, until I did the following:

  1. not using the private mode of the browser
  2. accessing ankiweb site through cellular rather than a Wi-Fi connection
  3. saving the username and password after successful login
  4. reconnecting to any Wi-Fi network

So it could be true that the updated site triggered some filtering within a Wi-Fi network. But it seems that it might have something to do with the browser’s private mode. Anyway, it’s ok now. Thank you!
