Maybe more of an “FYI” as I’m not sure what can be done.
Quad9, which provides recursive DNS service designed to block malware websites, is blocking https://link.us1.storjshare.io , as shown here: Blocked Domain Tester | Quad9

Previously, if someone wanted to host a small website on Storj, they had two mechanis…
