Hey folks,

wanted to take a quick look at https://buy-european.net/ but it seems to respond with "Bad Gateway".

Is it under maintenance, or does this website not exist anymore? (If so, the sidebar is a little outdated).

You're right! It seems to be a VPN problem. Case closed.

Ok, little correction: tja's link to https://sh.itjust.works/comment/23529484 explained it better.

Seems to be an unfixed issue...

https://buy-european.net/de German site works fine , just tested it with vanadium browser on a grapheneOs phone.

Still working on Cromite and Ironfox ,even with mullvad VPN location in Zurich .

Tested it with Edge on my (work) computer and Fennec on Android: Both don't work :(

But at least a workaround has been found...

It's just the /de ending. If you head for https://buy-european.net/en the content delivery works. It's a long standing bug.

That's a problem which exists for some time now, they don't seem to care

That must be it. Tried it several times from my work computer and phone.
