    When I try to read a novel from there, this pops up.

    Their discord code is "xu4haHTu7V", I suggest you go there and ask them.

    I have talked with other people who had this issue and it seems like active translations site is banned/blocked in certain countries. I'm not sure if the people I talked to managed to get it fixed but that's what they told me after discussing it on the discord group.

    That's a pretty standard way to avoid getting dmcd by the ip holders of asian literature. I know some manga sites block Japan as well.

    yep, I also thought I was Blocked for months, but I actually activated my VPN the whole time(didnt know they block vpn users)
    it works after dis-activating it though

    But if you are in a blocked country + cant use VPN, I am not sure about what can be done

    There's a solution -
    1.) Google Wayback Machine ( archive.org/web ), then paste and search the exact link of the chapter of the novel in Active Translations that you want to read. There will be a snapshot/webpage of the chapter (if it's not premium).

    2.) If there is no snapshot (of the non-premium chapter), simply manually save it by yourself by copying the chapter link and saving the link in Wayback Machine save option ( web.archive.org/save )( or just scroll down to bottom of their home page, there's a save option there ). Takes 10 seconds, and now you can read as a snapshot/webpage in banned countries without VPN.

    It's to block aggregators...most of them operate out of SE Asia
