Puri.sm domain was suspended

unfortunately we were hit by San Marino’s office hours again being much ahead of our own.

Backstory:

The Great Puri.sm Outage of 2018 – Purism

We are also examining additional redundancy, such as alternative host names for some of our critical infrastructure.

I highly suggest Tor onion services, which were specifically designed to resist censorship:

Tor Project | Onion Services

Or actually following up with the original solution six years ago:

Due to how domain registration works, we can’t completely remove the possibility that our domain could be suspended again in the future. What we can do is try to mitigate the effects with redundancy. To those ends we have registered PurismSPC.com with a different registrar and soon we will bring up a duplicate website and infrastructure under that domain. The idea here is to not just have a second domain with a redundant registrar, but have a domain under a completely different and traditional TLD for redundancy. We will also update our TLS certificates to list both puri.sm and purismspc.com, so you can be assured that we consider both sites valid when you visit with a web browser.

Issues like this remind us why we want to empower you to have direct control over your computers and data. When you turn control over to other parties everything might be “OK” for awhile, but inevitably something will go wrong someday and when it does, you discover just how powerless you are.
