Hey are yall banning ips?

For whatever reason, recently I have been having trouble accessing the wiki.archlinux.org site. Unsure if I it was because my ip was banned as I noticed I could freely access the site after restarting systemd-networkd, though I had to do this after every reboot. I mailed the accountsupport@archlinux.org team about whether or not my public ip was benned, I am not sure if they fixed this because this morning it seems like everything is working fine even after a reboot. This is very frustrating because I have frequently noticed this problem with the 'wiki.archlinux.org' site specifically though it tends to happen on rare occasion. Is there something wrong with the site, perhaps it only works with public ipv4 address?(idk I'm just guessing here)
Regardless, I would like to know as I have been experiencing this problem for about a year or so,
Thank You!

Re: Hey are yall banning ips?

https://status.archlinux.org says the wiki was not down - what were the exact symptoms of "having trouble accessing the wiki.archlinux.org site"?

The wiki sits behind anubis, typical problems are the hash calculation being too expensive for older™ systems and restarting systemd-networkd or rebooting will not hand you an new WAN segment but the randomized part of an IPv6 might change - do you use IPv6 to access the wiki?
