HAPPY BIRTHDAY .WINNERS!!!
Let me start this out by telling you guys not to freak out.
We have no reason to believe any of the following is necessary.
BUT we have a lot of experience with internet censorship, and we like to stay a step ahead of our enemies (hence this site existing in the first place)!
So, down to business.
THE KRAKEN HAS BEEN RELEASED!
Because of this, it's possible, if not likely, that we have become an even bigger target than we already were. As our userbase grows, our Alexa rank increases, our media attention increases, so do the number and sophistication of our enemies.
But what do we say in the face of danger?
EAT A BAG OF DICKS YOU DIRTY COMMIES
To that regard, we have a few backup domains set up in case they go after .win.
Again, we have no immediate reason to believe these will ever be necessary, but it's more important to have a backup now than it ever has been.
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T LIKE TO READ, PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PART:
In the case of thedonald.win being taken offline, keep these URLs bookmarked:
thedonald.xyz
thedonald.one
thedonald.space
These are our backup domains. Just keep them on hand in case of emergency.
That is all
MAGA DNS in case the domain name is not resolvable to an IP address.
Stop The Steal infrastructure, wiki, chat.
ELI5?
If you know the ip, but the domain is seized, you can set up hosts on your pc so thedonald.win points to the right ip. Works if the server stays up but the domain is gone.
An internet server is really an IP address. For thedonald.win, that's 172.67.73.6.
The Internet domain server registry has an entry that says "thedonald.win=172.67.73.6".
If the censors seize the domain thedonald.win, then the entry in that database is gone. If they don't seize the server, it's still there at 172.67.73.6, but your PC won't know that's the location of thedonald.win.
With a browser plugin or with Windows settings, you can manually override it so that thedonald.win=172.67.73.6, or whatever IP you chose. If you do this, you can still visit thedonald.win even if the domain is seized.
host is a server. hosts is also a file on your computer in which you can map domains "thedonald.win" to ip of the server.
BTW, it's no coincidence FOX referred to this site as 'a cyber-criminal forum' earlier today
maga.host is separate from td.win. A td.win outage won't directly cause a maga.host outage.
(Unless, that is, someone disconnects td.win and maga.host at the same time.)
That wiki comes back with a 404 for me.
They just closed my account, together with all my projects -- not only Stop The Steal. I need a new host. Can anyone get in touch with TheDonald admin and ask?
It's right on the sidebar.
Previously, I used the sidebar contact and directly messaged 13 of the most active admins to get a sticky for the wiki. No one responded, so I'm not hopeful of that avenue now. I heard there is some Discord chat.
