Long story short, Verizon is blocking the main popular anime manga torrent tracker (recent forks of it anyway - the original closed in 2017), at least its main mirrors. And at least one other site mentioned in articles. I was pretty surprised to read about that, I know net neutrality is dead, but I wasn't ready for this un-anime dystopian future. It just isn't right.

As I've posted elsewhere, Verizon isn't blocking nyaa and mangadex specifically, they are blocking the shady DDOS protection provider that both of those sites (and a bunch of malware sites) use. It sucks, but I guess that's the only working DDOS protection those grey-area sites were able to get and Verizon just has a blanket block on that company's IPs to protect their customers from clicking malware links whilst trying to help a Nigerian prince or buy embiggening pills or whatever. Nobody at Verizon gives a rat's rear end if you pirate anime or manga, unless one of the 5 giant American media conglomerates owns the rights to it.

Any VPN gets around it. Pain in the butt though.
