If you keep getting this message when you open the link, it's not that the link is dead, but it is blocked.

Some internet service providers (ISPs) like to restrict the access to some websites. Reasons vary, but it's often because of government ordered censorship or just because they are over-protective. Because pixeldrain is a relatively small platform (compared to Google Drive, Dropbox, MEGA, etc) it often gets blocked by accident.

The workaround​

If your ISP is blocking pixeldrain you can usually circumvent it by changing to a different DNS server. Switching DNS servers is pretty easy on most platforms. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 app makes it even easier: You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.

Changing DNS on GNOME is super simple: Go to network settings, click the gear next to your connection, you can enter your v4 addresses on the v4 tab and v6 addresses on the v6 tab. Uncheck the "Automatic" option or you will still use your ISP's DNS.

DNS servers which don't censor your internet​

If your an Opera user, go to "settings" then go to "browser", scroll down, stop at "system" and turn on "Use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of the system’s DNS settings".

Or much easier, is to use or open your VPN when you open a Pixeldrain link.

HOPE IT HELPS!!!
