Good day,

Similar issue here. I was able to call up the MIM home page, although it took 20 to 30 seconds to appear.

Then I clicked on the first link for HECnet information http://mim.softjar.se/hecnet.htm. There was no response and the following eventually appeared in my browser (Firefox):

The connection has timed out

The server at mim.softjar.se is taking too long to respond.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

I tried to return to the home page http://mim.softjar.se/ and received the same timeout error as above after a minute or so. The site is no longer accessible.

My cable modem IPV4 address is 172.88.56.241 and IPV6 2605:e000:2fc0:1e:550d:d9f7:1f77:955b/128

Thank you,
Jason Brady

Yeah, you're blocked. Removed your block as well, and I have some 
logging on now to hopefully see what is going on.
