Because MD cant use Cloudflare (dont ask for the story, you can find an annoucement somewhere) they have to use DDOS-guard for their anti-ddos service, so thats why. with the MD@ Home, the actual site itself is not hosted around the world by the people, only the images which get displayed thru the reader. it still has to connect to the main site.
So your only choices are to either use a vpn, or mount a coup, then invade Russia and take it over. (Which its about to be Winter, and history shows you should never do that) and then order the blocks removed.
