I usually have a webpage like this:

> **[code9n](https://code9n.net/)**

running to help people in censored countries and it is usually in use around 75% of the time or so. Then the Iran thing happened and it was in use a little less, maybe down to 50, 60% of the time.

But for the last several days it’s had absolutely zero uptake. Zero users.

Has there been an update that could have rendered this instance obsolete?  
Anyone know what’s happened and what I can do to fix it - as the controller of the webpage or as the person running that page in their browser (I’m both in this case)?

Thanks.

I don’t have an answer. I operate a standalone Snowflake proxy and can say that usage is low these days. Nothing like the highs at the end of 2025 and start of this year. Yes a huge drop when IR cut the internet. Then RU also got heavy on censorship as per posts in this forum. I allow 14 connections and hardly ever get past 7.

I can only guess that the censor gangs are getting better at their job. 🙁

Thanks @BobbyB .

I think that’s all it is. I’ve had a couple of connections now so it is working just much lighter usage.
