DTNZ website restored following 9-day DNS block

DTNZ back online

A 9-day critical DNS block ended unexpectedly this afternoon.

The DTNZ website has been restored and news publishing will resume tomorrow at 7am.

It is still not clear why a Registrar-level block was placed on the domain name causing a catastrophic outage of the website, or why it has suddenly reappeared back online.



Further information will be provided in due course. Thank you sincerely to those who supported restoration and sent messages of support.

  1. Welcome back in!
    Its perturbing that this can just *happen* to an alt news service.
    Missed our daily read, every day, so would love to know what happened, when you know.
    Thank you for your work, its impartial and important.

      • I agree 💯 with both comments.
        Rapt that you’re back, and shaking my head in disbelief at what happened to take you down.

    • It is a huge coincidence the only political commentary / comment site in nz, which is not manipulated by government propogandists; is shut down.

      Your insights and comments obviously have Luxon, Willis, amd Watts worried you are exposing their grand scale theft of your taxes!

      Keep on posting!

    • Would be my guess!! – ISPs (Internet Service Providers): Telecom companies and broadband providers action blocks at the network level—often complying with government or court mandates to restrict access to copyright-infringing, fraudulent, or illegal sites.

  2. Welcome back DTNZ. I think you just received a shot over the bow.

    Stay strong.

    • I have no doubt that Zionism and those who speak out about the same in DTNZ’s comments sections caused IDF Unit 8200 to hack the site for those 9 days!
      Then again, this could also be the *SIS (see the recent Stuff article…), the CIA, *FBI (permanently in NZ illegally and in violation of NZ sovereignty…), GCSB, and perhaps Police Intelligence (IF one could call it that…).
      Odd how this went down when Lex Luxon’s ‘leadership abilities’ (BAWHAWHAWHAWHAW..!) were in question with the National Party bottom feeders scurrying around for political tidbits to feed on…
      Chris Penk may have his own faults, but at least he served in the Royal New Zealand Navy and was actually helping Veterans here in NZ who are consistently being disenfranchised, like many Veterans in other ‘Allied Nations’.
      As a Naval Officer, Penk was probably more qualified to lead National than all of the other parasites in poliTICKS, and may have been working to keep NZ OUT OF FUTURE ZIONIST-INSPIRED GLOBAL CONFLICTS!
      Penk could very well be NZ version of Lt. Col. Ricardo Bosi of the Australia One Party. Bosi calls it like it is!

      Only NZ Loyal Party’s Kelvyn Alp can match the above commentary in a similar fashion! 🙂
      With regards to the cops and NZDF, and also to the participants of ‘Operation Southern Katipo’ that always occurs during an (s)el-ection cycle, hear this below-

  3. In my view, releasing the governments, privileged, MPs, covid poison information and police corruption is iintolerable to these nasty shitwits.

    What triggered them?

    It is possibel for DTNZ to create a new tab to reprint of the missing news?

  4. If the DTNZ domain was deliberately blocked without authorisation, there may be a serious legal issue here.

    Section 250(2)(c) of New Zealand’s Crimes Act 1961 makes it an offence, without authorisation, to intentionally or recklessly cause a computer system to fail or deny service to authorised users. The maximum penalty is 7 years’ imprisonment.

    The big question is: who ordered the DNS/registrar-level block, under what authority, and why?

    If it was an unauthorised deliberate act intended to take the site offline, Section 250 deserves serious consideration.

  5. Having worked in the sector managing high level connections and dealing with the infrastructure, I can say that a block at the registrar layer could mean a few things such as:
    -Web server layer distruptions
    -Cluster issues – a bunch of virtual servers on a single host
    -Multiple host disruption – many servers on many hosts
    -Hardware faults causing problems with network interface and virtual networks (VLANS)
    -Power and hardware failures

    Without saturating this post with unordered ideas you can understand the layers of concern which this issue must adhere to, meaning there are only 7 layers where this issue can exist, these are:

    Layer 7: Application Layer
    Layer 6: Presentation Layer
    Layer 5: Session Layer
    Layer 4: Transport Layer
    Layer 3: Network Layer
    Layer 2: Data Link Layer
    Layer 1: Physical Layer

    For those who want to know what these look like in real-world terms see this link:

    My conspiracy hat goes on:

    We know the goals of the new world order whether you think this is true or not it doesn’t matter, it’s already progressing I.e digital Id, so I’m going to say there is extreme potential for bad actors at play here. I would say even at a testing level where actions are deployed to see their consequences before live deployment. I do believe these issues are a taste of what’s to come.

  6. For the clueless here like @PropheticTimeline this was a REGISTRY level block. Not registrar, but registry. You know, the people who maintain the dns REGISTER. The NS and SOA responses were replaced with NXDOMAIN because of the register hold. The only people who can answer why is the Domain Name Commission.

  7. Where does the King stand on all of this? He needs to stand up – lets hope he’s not helping it along…. that would be a tragedy.
    Have a look at “JUD SUSS” the movie to understand how it all works from 1940.
    Long Live the King – he needs to protect us from these evil clowns; if it’s in his nature.

  8. The truth will NOT be tolerated. All who post AGAINST the political-establishment, corporate agenda, censorship, mainstream propoganda, big-pharma, corruption, fraud, lies and globalist control shall be tracked, traced, cancelled and banished. The labour/national establishment rule MUST be continued in november. You have been warned. OBEY AND SUBMIT WITHOUT QUESTION. Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

  9. I thought it was a problem my end at first until I found you guys didn’t work on my mobile either. I think you deserve some answers as to why the outage and why so long.

    Glad you are back, I have certainly missed you!

  10. Good to see you back on line! I think you are certainly owed at explanation and a comprehensive one , at that, as to why you were taken off line for for no less than 9 days! Its not as if its an afternoon outage is it. I would think too a lot of subscribers might believe you were gone for good.

  11. I realised when DTNZ was down that the other “news” we get is totally propaganda, biased, and has a narrative all of its own! The difference is so massive. We really do have a parallel society here in NZ.

    Some of your recent posts, I had been thinking to myself could have really been upsetting the mainstream apple cart and I was not surprised in a way when I tried to log into DTNZ website that it would not connect, whatever the reason was.

    So pleased to see you back with real news. I didn’t realise how much I had come to rely on DTNZ and see what you were posting compared to Stuff. You were truly missed!

    Anything any of us can do to help Malcolm?

  12. Thanks DTNZ. Independant news without political affiliation, bias, and propoganda.
    MSM may appear free, is paid for by interest groups, who control “What they want you to believe”.
    I made a donation today.

  13. Appears a compliance lock was applied. Only the DNC can impose those for things like a court order or matters of national security etc..

  14. You are the only non-politically biased outlet in the country. We are glad you are back and interested to know what you find out about why the site went offline. Welcome back and thanks for all you do .

  15. I’m really glad to see you back and I hope you can find out what happened. Will follow your updates with interest and thank you Editor for all your work!

    • That’s right; IDF & Mossad Unit 8200!
      Hopefully, the Zionist secretive Nazi J3w$ will be booted OUT OF NEW ZEALAND after the election, along with the FBI!

  16. BTW, ‘Counterspin Media’ hosted by NZ Loyal Party Leader Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spier was booted offline two months ago, unannounced!
    Simultaneous to that, there was de-banking among some of the NZ Loyal Party Officers…
    This is proof -positive and absolutely conclusive that the governments do not want the truths to be exposed!
    And Counterspin media, DTNZ and Kelvyn Alp with NZ Loyal Party do just that!
