Annoyingly, as of September 2025 - imgur blocked all UK residents from viewing any content.

I'm wondering if it's perhaps possible to host these pictures on another platform? I honestly have no idea where - perhaps in a dropbox?

I realise what I'm asking is a longshot. It's completely cool if not, I'd just like to be able to see the armour sets again!

You better get used to VPN.

You better get used to VPN.

I understand you're joking but,

Apparently it's not quite as easy as using a VPN for Imgur specifically, as Imgur has blocked access to numerous VPNs.

But I am saying 'apparently' because I don't use a VPN myself. Frankly I'd prefer to not have another monthly subscription to a service I'd just use to view Imgur. Even if annoyingly it'll mean I'll miss out on this armour gallery

There are PLENTY of free VPNs try surfshark

Thank you for the recommendation, but from what I can see - Surfshark isn't free? I mean, it's got a seven day free trial, the same as a lot of them, but that's it?

It's not just the money though - I don't particularly want to use somethin extra just to view Imgur pictures. Perhaps if more and more websites become restricted, then I'd consider it - but for the moment I'm alright not using one.

But I don't really want this to get turned into a discussion about VPNs - I'm sure I can't be the only person from the UK who is hesitant to get one. I was only asking as I used to love the armour gallery, and it would be great if it were available on a platform that was available to UK residents.

But I did say that I know it's a real longshot, and it's completely cool if not! I really was just asking on the off-chance. I really didn't mean to come across as ungrateful or rude or anything.

If you are from any of the countries that are stealing your data(all), removing your freedom(too damn many) you should be using a VPN, its not just to view a single website, it helps prevent your government from tracking everything you do online and the UK is on the bleeding edge of this massive overreach.

I have surfshark and am not paying for anything. there should be a free option

imgur actually blocks quite a few VPN IPs (US servers). Not sure if it does for other countries as I never set it to those.
