Still same.
Can't access the mirror link on "Playstake" and main website, I'm using .kim domain for right now. I don't really have any problem even can't visit with mirror link, due .kim still can be accesable.
You've never used cloudflare DNS? I mean like in
this thread if you use same way then you can access all mirror link without VPN
I don't know if this method is safe but many of us use this method including me and so far no problem, if in doubt you can enable extra security.
