I wanted to try out zip but unfortunately I think zip domains are blocked on my network since it fails to connect normally but does work through Tor or a VPN. I also tried connecting to other zip domains (not just the lemmy instance) and I got similar results. Would work on Tor or VPN but not on my main network.

At least I now have an account here though, which is probably good enough for now.

Try using an alternative dns. Some isps DNS servers don't know how to direct a .zip tld

One should always use a self hosted DNS, in my opinion.. you can add the filter you need, and your isp does know a bit less about you 😉

Already use an alternate DNS, though it seems like the zips are completely blocked at the network level. Even with Cloudflare or Google DNS they still don't connect.

I actually do use cloudflare DNS I also did try switching to Google DNS (I know that that would certainly work since they own zips) but it still doesn't connect even when using an alternate DNS.
