Sveltekit website blocks Linux visitors?

[galaczi]

Hi, I am using Linux Mint as my daily driver. I started to notice that some sites block me. I noticed I cannot even load Vercel's site so I thought they are the source of the block. Looks like I can load Vercel now, but still cannot load most of the sites hosted by them.

That includes svelte.dev unfortunately. I can load the site on my Windows laptop, no problem. So my IP is not the issue here. Looks like Linux is categorized as high risk? I mean a lot of devs use Linux for obvious reasons, so this is definitely a bad idea... I would appreciate a fix. In the meantime I have to use a VPN to read the docs.

we do not block by os and i'm able to load the page on linux just fine. please check your dns cache. could take some time updating

I have flushed DNS cache several times, but it didn't change anything. I think this started like 2 weeks ago already, so any IP change should have been resolved.

My guess is Vercel is doing the blocking, not sure if it's configurable by the website owners. A lot of dev related sites don't open, and I have a feeling they are all on Vercel. I am not a paid customer there, so cannot contact them.

Edit: I can reach get.dev:

And resolving seems to work for kit.svelte.dev too, but the site never finishes loading. Same for vercel.com.

I can also ping the site, but I am still blocked on web. A bit uncomfortable that I cannot read docs while working.
