Catbox.moe is blocked for many people. Please consider using another image host, like https://imgbb.com/
What? Why is it blocked and for whom? I've had far fewer issues with it than I've had with the often slow-loading imgbb and the short time when imgbb went all-in on full-paid access before they changed their mind and went back to allowing a free tier.
Check out their faq, the last section

Example blurb
Verizon blocks catbox. I just changed my dns to cloudflare.
Me, and many others
You'll have to ask them. They insist they aren't, but I promise you I am not blocking them either, so it's them.
e: This was not a tech support request. I promise you all that I know what I am doing and it is not on my side and I'm not the only person with this exact problem.
It sounds like your ISP is blocking access. Have you tried using a different DNS server? My ISP blocks thepiratebay and I easily get around it using the Cloudflare DNS server.
Could it be someone between you and them? Is there a bug report or discussion tracking this problem which people could try to help solve?
Is it blocked on a VPN?
I can't even open links to that site through Tor, and not because the site answers with 403, but because it never connects at all.
